Hobart and William Smith Colleges Athletics

Meghan O’Brien Donaldson, of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., was an exceptional four-year letter winner on the swimming team. She made an immediate impact as a first-year, winning All-American honors, as well as the Stephanie Christie Award, given to the outstanding William Smith first-year. As a sophomore, she was named the Most Valuable Swimmer at the NYSWCAA Championship Meet and repeated her All-American accolades. O’Brien Donaldson captained the Herons as a senior, once again earning All-American recognition. Her name still adorns the William Smith records board at Bristol Pool for the 200 free, the 200 free relay, the 400 free relay, and the 800 free relay. A true student-athlete, she was a Dean’s List student and a recipient of the Michele Tote ’70 Memorial Scholarship.
