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.
