University of Maine Athletics

Whitney Leeman was one of Maine's finest female athletes. She won 16 New England titles in her four-year swimming career, tying a New England record held by Maine's Julie Woodcock. In 1984, Whitney advanced to the Division II National Championships winning the 200 meter backstroke and placing second in the 200 meter individual medley and the 100 meter backstroke. She set records at Maine in every stroke, and at the time of induction, owned six University of Maine records.
