The R.V. Borleske Trophy (top male) and Mignon Borleske Trophy (top female) recognize athletic achievement, sportsmanship and leadership. 2008 R.V. Borleske Trophy: Max Weber ’08 and Clint Collier ’08. Weber, of Great Falls, Mont., is a soccer midfielder and team captain who helped lead Whitman to a winning season in 2007. Team captain Collier, Albuquerque, N.M., broke a 13-year-old school record in the 100-yard breaststroke while placing sixth in the NWC championships in 2008. 2008 Mignon Borleske Trophy: Erin Pettersen ’08, Kirkland, Wash., made history this spring as the first Whitman swimmer to qualify for the NCAA National Championships.

Nancy Alexander ’08, Tigard, Ore., won the Northwest Conference 200-yard backstroke title for the third straight year and helped Pettersen (above) power their team to a third-place NWC finish.
