Maureen Deagan (1990-93) was the first of two Titan women to earn All-America honors for four straight years.

The Westminster men’s and women’s teams were PAC Champions in the same years in 2006 and 2007 (above).

Jason Kunkle (1992-95) is one of six Titan men to earn All-America honors for four straight years.

NCAA Runners-Up

Most PAC Men’s Titles

Since Westminster joined NCAA Division III in 2003 the highest finishers at nationals were Ryan Trunk (2nd in the 100-yard freestyle in 2007), Courtney Herdt (2nd in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2011), and Caitlin Lehberger (2nd in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke in 2012).

All-American Chris Lehberger (2006-09), brother of All-American and arguably the most decorated swimmer in Westminster history Caitlin Lehberger, leads the men’s team all-time with seven individual conference titles.
