Southern Connecticut State University Athletics

One of the pioneers of the women’s swimming and diving program at Southern Connecticut, Sandy (Hittleman) Myerson '69 was a member of the first formal Owls’ program under the legendary Kay Fromer. However, her participation and strong performances at the New England and National Women’s Swimming competitions as a freshman and sophomore played a pivotal role in the creation of the varsity program at Southern.
 
During her time at Southern, the Owls finished third on two occasions at the New England Championship. Myerson was a school record holder four separate events (50 yard freestyle and the 100 yard individual medley, 200 yard medley relay and 200 yard freestyle relay) at the conclusion of her collegiate career. She was also a member of the women’s tennis team while an undergraduate and went on to serve as a coach for the women’s swimming team at the University of Michigan. Myerson is an expert in the field of elder care assistance and a published author on the topic.
