Titan Sports Hall of Fame
When Westminster College became members of the NCAA in 1998 the first women's swimmer to represent the Titans at nationals was Stefanie King Lizauckas. She qualified for the NCAA Division II Championships three years and once for NCAA Division III from 2000-03.
Lizauckas earned College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) All-America honors seven times during her career with top-16 honorable mention All-America finishes at NCAA national meets.
When she graduated, Lizauckas held four school records including the 100 breaststroke (1:06.88), the 200 breaststroke (2:23.08) and the 200 and 400 medley relays. Her times in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes both rank third in team history before they were eclipsed in 2009 and 2010.
Lizauckas was a five-time conference champion despite Westminster not being eligible for conference championships during her sophomore and junior years. She won the 2000 GLIAC title in the 1,000 freestyle before winning the 200 and 400 medley relays and the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at the 2003 PAC Championships.
Coached by Rob Klamut, Lizauckas was a member of some of the great teams in Titan history. The 2001 team was one of only two squads in team history that posted an undefeated dual meet record (10-0). In Westminster's first year of eligibility for the PAC Championships in 2003, Lizauckas led the Titans to their first conference title while compiling the most points at the meet. She was also voted team MVP and co-captain of the 2003 squad.
She also excelled in the classroom by earning Verizon Academic All-District honors as well as CSCAA Scholar All-America laurels.
A native of Ashville, N.Y., and a Panama Central High School graduate, Lizauckas earned her degree in economics and business administration from Westminster in 2003. She is currently the compliance coordinator in the Division of Athletics at the University at Buffalo. She resides in Williamsville, N.Y., with her husband Tony.
