Union College Athletics

Elliot Seguin made a lasting impact in the pool as one of four individual national champions in the long history of the Union men’s swimming & diving program during his time on campus from 2001-05.
 
Seguin finished his decorated Union career with 12 All-America laurels to his credit, with six coming as an individual and six as part of relay teams. 

He shined brightest in his senior season, earning All-America honors in all three freestyle sprint events in his home state of Michigan, including winning a national title in the 100 free by over four-tenths of a second. As a result, he almost single-handedly helped Union finish 25th at the NCAA Championships with 28 points. Seguin also captured state titles in the 100 and 200 free in helping Union earn its fifth New York State championship, winning the 100 free in a school-record time of 45.17 seconds that still stands up today. At the end of the year, he was recognized with Union’s Student-Athlete of the Year award.
 
As a sophomore, Seguin earned the Sophomore Athletic Prize after picking up a pair of individual All-America laurels, finishing third in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 free, to go with four All-America relay honors. His two individual honors made him only the fifth Union swimmer to earn multiple All-America first-team awards in the same season, and also helped Union finish 14th at the national championships with 91 points, the team’s highest finish since 1998. He also was named Co-Swimmer of the Meet at the New York State Championships, winning the 50 free and the 100 free while playing a role in four state title-winning relays.
