Sophomore (2007-08):
Westby became Emory's first Women's National Champion since the 2006 season, winning the 50-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division III Championships in a school-record time of 23.40 seconds. She also set a school record time of 1:50.59 and earned an all-America certificate with a third-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle, in addition to earning all-America certificates in the 100-yard freestyle, and as part of the 200-yard freestyle relay, the 400-yard freestyle relay, and the 800-yard freestyle relay. She finished her sophomore campaign with 13 all-America certificates over her career, the fourth-most in school history. Westby was named the UAA's Swimmer of the Year after becoming the first swimmer to win each of the three freestyle sprint events at the conference meet, finishing first in the 50-, 100-, and 200-yard freestyles. She led the Eagles with 368 points scored in dual meets during the season.
Freshman (2006-07):
Westby led the Eagles and matched a school freshman-record with seven all-America certificates earned at the NCAA Championship meet, which is already the 13th-best career total in school history. Her honors came in the 50-, 100-, and 200-freestyle events and as part of the Eagles' 200-freestyle relay, 400-medley relay, 800-freestyle relay and 400-freestyle relay teams. Westby became just the third Eagle freshman to earn three or more all-America honors in individual events. She set school records in the 50-, 100-, and 200-freestyle at the NCAA Championship meet, and her time of 1:51.00 is the eighth-fastest in Division III history. In addition, she helped the Eagles' 200-freestyle relay, 400-freestyle relay and 800-freestyle relay teams each set school records. Westby was part of the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship 200-freestyle relay team, and earned all-UAA honors in a team-best four other events. She scored 410.50 points in meets throughout the season, the second-best total by an Eagle during the campaign.
