Lewis & Clark College

Junior Elise Barton earned three All-Conference honors to lead women’s swimming at the 2025 Northwest Conference Swimming Championships. Barton became the first Pioneers women's swimmer since Aniqah Gaffoor in 2023 to earn All-Conference recognition in all three individual events, placing fifth in the 50 freestyle (24.46), seventh in the 200 freestyle (1:58.05) and sixth in the 100 freestyle (54.00). Her performance in the 50 free moved her to third in program history, while she also set personal records in both the 200 free and 100 free that rank among Lewis & Clark's all-time top 10. Barton also contributed to three relay teams that posted season-best times, including the 400 medley relay that recorded the fifth-fastest mark in program history (4:03.41).
