A cornerstone of Washington and Lee's rise to national prominence in women's tennis, Brook Hartzell '00 was a four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain who combined competitive excellence with unwavering sportsmanship. A four-time First Team All-ODAC selection, Hartzell was twice named the ODAC Player of the Year and earned ITA All-America honors in both singles and doubles as a junior and senior. She competed in the NCAA Singles Championship three times and the NCAA Doubles Championship three times, earning the No. 2 seed in the 1999 NCAA singles draw.

Hartzell's senior season was particularly remarkable—she and doubles partner Melissa Hatley advanced to the NCAA Doubles Final, finishing as national runners-up, and helped lead the Generals to a third-place finish at the NCAA Team Championship. After her final campaign, Hartzell was honored with the ITA Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award for the South Region, a fitting tribute to her leadership and character on and off the court.

Over her four years, the team compiled a stellar 71-18 overall record and went undefeated (41-0) in conference play. Hartzell graduated tied for eighth all-time in program history in both singles (83-33) and doubles (87-26) victories, both still stand as top-10 marks today.

A standout in both cross country and track & field, Elizabeth Webb Berry '09 made an indelible mark on Washington and Lee athletics as a four-year letterwinner and senior-year captain for both programs. A dominant middle-distance runner, she graduated with five school records—indoors in the 800 meters, mile, and distance medley relay, and outdoors in the 800 and 1,500 meters. Webb was a five-time ODAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, two-time USTFCCCA Academic All-American, and a two-time ODAC Athlete of the Meet at the outdoor championship. She was the first athlete in conference history to sweep the 800, 1,500, and 5,000 meters in a single ODAC outdoor meet, achieving that feat as a sophomore.

A trailblazer for Washington and Lee women's swimming, Lindsey Strachan '09 was a four-year letterwinner and senior-year team captain who helped reestablish the program's national prominence. The 2006 ODAC Rookie of the Year, two-time ODAC Swimmer of the Year and four-time All-ODAC selection, Strachan was instrumental in leading the Generals to three conference championships during her collegiate career. She amassed an impressive 15 ODAC titles—seven individual and eight relay wins—including a dominating performance at the 2009 ODAC Championship, where she claimed the 100 back, 200 back, and 200 fly, and contributed to victories in both the 200 and 400 medley relays.

In 2009, Strachan became W&L's first women's swimming All-American in a decade, placing 11th in the 200 backstroke at the NCAA Championships to earn Honorable Mention All-America honors. She graduated as the school and ODAC record holder in the 100 backstroke (58.08), 200 backstroke (2:02.62), 200 medley relay (1:49.13), and 400 medley relay (4:00.28).

One of the most decorated volleyball players in Washington and Lee history, M.A. Boles '14 was a four-year letterwinner and two-year captain who left her mark as a dominant outside hitter. Boles played in 135 matches and 472 sets—second-most in program history—and became just the fifth player to surpass both 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs. She set the W&L and ODAC all-time record for kills (1,714) and still holds school records for career kills, attacks (4,848) and single-season attacks (1,360). Her name is etched throughout the W&L record book, ranking second in career kills in a match (28), fifth in single-season kills (460), and seventh in career service aces (171) and tenth in career digs (1,412).

A four-time First Team All-ODAC and All-State honoree, Boles was recognized as the ODAC, VaSID, and South Region Rookie of the Year in 2010.

Tallman was a force in the ODAC, earning 21 All-ODAC honors (15 First Team) and capturing 15 ODAC titles. He swept the 400 meters at the ODAC Outdoor Championships all four years, and in 2014 was named ODAC Athlete of the Meet after winning the 400 meters (in a meet-record 47.66), the 800 meters, and anchoring winning 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams. His dominance extended to the national stage, becoming a five-time NCAA Championship qualifier.
