Junior (2007-08):
Pasternak earned all-America honors in three events at the 2008 NCAA Division III Championships, finishing fifth in the 100-yard backstroke, seventh in the 200-yard backstroke, and sixth as part of the Eagles' 200-yard medley relay team. The three honors in 2008 give her eight all-America honors over her Emory career, including an all-America honor in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke each of her three seasons on the team, putting her in position to become the first Emory swimmer to earn all-America honors in two individual events for four-consecutive years. Pasternak was part of the Eagles' UAA Championship 400-yard medley relay team, and earned all-UAA honors in the 200-yard and 400-yard individual medleys, the 100-yard and 200-yard backstrokes, and as part of the 200-yard medley relay team. She recorded the top Emory times in the 100 back, 200 back, and 200 IM during the season, and recorded three of the top-10 times in school history in the 200-yard backstroke. Pasternak's 181 points scored during the season was the ninth-best total on the team.
Sophomore (2006-07):
For the second-consecutive year, Pasternak earned all-America honors in both the 100- and 200-backstroke, giving her five all-America certificates over her career. She recorded the top-four Emory times in the 100 backstroke during the season, and the top-three times in the 200 backstroke. Pasternak's time of 2:03.03 in the 200 backstroke at the NCAA Championships set a new school record in the event. She scored 212.25 in meets throughout the season, the seventh-best total by an Eagle.
Freshman (2005-06):
Pasternak, a freshman, earned three All-America certificates this season with her second place finish in the 200-yard backstroke competition, her third place finish in the 100-yard backstroke competition, and her fifth place finish in the 400-yard medley relay.
