Swimming is a sport of determination and endurance.
Only with these two qualities in hand can a swim team be successful. During the 1999-2000 season, the NYU women's swim team demonstrated that they possessed both. Senior captain Christina Keller led the way to another winning season, as the Violets finished 7-3. Against Vassar College on October 30, Keller smashed the school record in the 200 meter breaststroke to boost the team to a 118-95 win. She earned UAA Athlete of the Week honors for her efforts against Swarthmore College on December 8.
