Alongside earning Dean’s List and Faculty Honors, the York, Pa. native also broke two of her own school records this season, earned CSCAA All-American honors, qualified for two NCAA Championships events as well as the U.S. Olympic Trials.
In his second year as a mechanical engineering major, Lim earned a 3.38 GPA to make the Dean’s List in 2019. In addition to multiple achievements this season, the Singapore native helped the 200 medley relay team to a bronze medal at ACC Championships.
