2006 Hall of Fame Inductee

LEE S. MARTIN

Men's Swimming (1985-89)
Inducted in 2006

The winningest swimmer in University of Delaware history, Lee Martin had few equals when it came to competing in the breaststroke events at the conference championships. The West Chester, Pa. native captured 10 career conference titles during his career in 1985-89 for head coach Chris Ip, the most by any swimmer in UD history. He led Delaware to two East Coast Conference team finishes in 1998 and 1999 and was named the UD Outstanding Senior Male Athlete of the Year in 1988-89. He won four events and was the ECC Championship Outstanding Performer as a senior in 1989, placed seventh in the 100 breaststroke at the 1989 Eastern Seaboard championships, and became the first UD swimmer to qualify for the U.S. Senior Nationals. He lost just one breaststroke dual race in his career. He also established Delaware records in 100 breaststroke (57.14), 200 breaststroke (2:05.86), 200 medley relay (1:34.52), and 400 medley relay (3:26.66) during his career.
