Michelle Walsh, a three-sport captain of the field hockey, women's basketball and softball teams at Swarthmore, holds college records in each sport. 

Walsh, who already is in the hall as a member of the 1996 field hockey team, helped lead field hockey to a 64-14 record over four seasons and to two unbeaten seasons in Centennial Conference play. 

She has the 10th most career assists in field hockey, the seventh most steals in women's basketball and numerous softball records. She remains the program's all-time leader in total bases, batting average, slugging percentage, runs batted in, home runs and triples. She is the last player in Centennial Conference history to bat .500 for a season and was an All-Conference player three seasons including being named to the All-Centennial First Team in 1996. 

Walsh's love for Division III athletics continues today as she currently works as the athletic director at Vassar College.
