Just one of three swimmers to win the Mildred Barnes Award as the top BU female athlete, Abigail Clark (‘00) excelled in the breaststroke, capturing three titles in the 100-yard breast at the America East Championships. Clark set the America East scene on fire her freshman season, posting the conference record in the 100 breast while aiding the 200 and 400 medley relay teams to conference record-breaking marks as well. The Baltimore native continued to bring BU to the forefront of the America East, guiding the Terriers to a runner-up finish at the conference championships the following three seasons.
Overall, Clark accumulated 40 individual victories while competing with 42 winning relay teams. A four-time America East All-Conference selection and four-time team MVP, she took second in the 50-yard freestyle and fourth in the 100 free her final year. At the 2000 ECAC Championships, she won the 100 breast, while also placing third in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 free. Clark also participated in the 2000 U.S. Olympic trials in the 100 breast.
