DONNA M. BROCKSON
Women’s Swimming & Diving (1983-87)
A standout swimmer with a specialty in the breaststroke events, Donna Brockson captured more conference titles than any female swimmer in UD history.
As a four-year standout from 1983-87, she won an incredible 12 East Coast Conference individual and relay championships and established five school records.
A native of Wilmington, Del., Brockson was a two-year co-captain and her teams never placed lower than third at the ECC meet. She won the 100 breaststroke at the ECC championships all four years, captured the 200 breaststroke twice, and teamed for four other relay crowns.
As a sophomore in 1984-85, she was named the ECC Championship Meet Most Valuable Performer when she took home a Delaware-record six first place finishes, including wins in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, 200 and 400 individual medley, and 200 and 400 medley relay events.
She set school records in the 100 breaststroke (1:07.67), 200 breaststroke (2:26.03), 200 IM (2:13.58), 400 IM (4:40.68), and 400 medley relay (4:04.85) during her career.
A 1987 Delaware graduate, she has spent numerous years teaching and developing swim teams in Sussex County, Delaware.
