At the 2013 NCAA Championship meet senior Caroline Wilson won three indiviudal titles; 500 freestyle, 200 IM & 400 IM, raising her total of indiviudal titles to 11. The 11 titles ties Wilson with former teammate Logan Todhunter '12 and Patricia Abt (Kenyon) and Carla Ainsworth (Kenyon) for most individual title won in a career. Wilson won the 400 IM title all four years. Wilson won titles in four different events: 500 freestyle, 1650 freestyle, 200 IM & 400 IM.

Wilson was named the 2013 NCAA Swimmer of the Meet.

Shortly after Wilson won the 400 IM sophomore Sarah Thompson repeated as the 200 freestyle champion. On the final day of competition Thompson snared her second indivudual title of the 2013 championships by winning the 1650 freestyle by over 15 seconds.

Winning the 100 and 200 butterfly at the 2012 championships, Logan Todhunter won both events four years in a row, making her one of eight swmmers all-time in NCAA Division III to win an event fours years in a row and one of only four to win two events all four years.

By winning the 2012 200 IM (for the third year in a row) Logan Todhunter raised her total of individual titles won to an Eph record (11), which tied the NCAA record set by Kenyon swimmers Patrica Abt and Carla Ainsworth.

By virtue of her three 2012 individual wins, which included a record time of 1:55.66 in the 200 butterfly and being a member of two Eph relays that set meet records  -- 400 medley relay (3:42.1) and the 800 freestyle (7:19.11), Todhunter earned her second NCAA Swimmer of the Meet honor. She previously won her first NCAA Swimmer of the Meet award in 2010.

Winning three individual events -- 500 freestyle, 1650 freestyle and the 400 IM at the 2012 NCAA Championships, including a meet record 4:13.14 in the 400 IM, lifted Wilson to 8 NCAA individual titles. Wilson is now tied with Lindsay Payne '06 for third place on the Eph list of NCAA individual champions.

Katherine Eckrich '85 won five events in 1982 to post the most individual wins at a single NCAA championship by an Eph. During her career at Williams, Eckrich accumulated 10 individual titles and swam on seven winning relay teams. Eckerich is the Eph leader in total NCAA titles: 17, 10 individual and 7 relay crowns.

Lindsay Payne '06 was the first Eph swimmer to win the 100-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Division III Championships four times. Payne was also named the Swimmer of the Meet at the NCAA Championships in 2005 and 2006. In her career Payne won eight individual titles and four relays for a total of 12 NCAA titles.

Elizabeth Jex '83 won five events in 1982 and swam on three winning relay teams as the Ephs won their first of two consecutive NCAA titles. Her seven combined titles at the 1982 NCAA Championships tied her with teammate Katherine Eckrich for the Eph record for combined titles at one championship with seven. Eckrich also won her seven titles in 1982.

Jex ended her career with 14 NCAA titles with seven individual wins and seven relay victories. Eckrich tops the all-time Eph NCAA win list with 17; 10 of them individual victories.

Kristine Taylor '01 is the lone Eph diver to win the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events in the same year, completing the double in 1998.
