A four-year swimming letterwinner and twice co-captain of the team, Kathy Lynch won eight East Coast Conference individual championships and earned All-East honors in the 200-yard backstroke. A placewinner in backstroke events at the Eastern Championships for four consecutive years, Lynch held 10 school individual and relay records at graduation and was also the ECC record-holder in the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events. She was highly instrumental in Bucknell winning its first women's conference swimming championship in 1987, and she was twice the ECC Scholar-Athlete in women's swimming. Co-winner of the Christy Mathewson Award as the outstanding athlete in her class, her times still rank among the best at Bucknell in four events. In addition, she anchored the 800 free relay team that set the existing school record.
