Stephanie Jeppesen Wyzykowski '10 (2006-10) – Women's Swimming
Jeppesen was a four-time All-American and holds the most school-record times with eight, four in individual events and four in relays.
She helped the KU women's swimming team enjoy its best season in school history in 2009-10. The Golden Bears finished fourth as a team at the PSAC Championships, and 16th at nationals. The Golden Bears also set a school-record for wins with 15.
At the PSAC Championships, Jeppesen won three individual events: the 100-breast in 1:03.99, the 200-breast in 2:16.49 and the 200-IM in 2:04.59. At the NCAA Championships, Jeppesen finished second as the national runner-up in the 200-breast in a school-record and PSAC-record-setting time of 2:15.11, and third in the 100-breast in 1:03.23.
She was voted the 2010 KU Female Athlete and Senior Athlete of the Year.
After graduating from Kutztown, Jeppesen continued her swimming career by trying out for Denmark's national team. A native of Denmark, Jeppesen was recruited to try out for the 2012 Olympic Team. At Denmark's Olympic Trials, she finished fourth overall in the 100- and 200-breaststroke, and the 200-IM, only narrowly missing their Olympic team cutoff.
She is currently a swimming coach at the Greater Philadelphia Aquatic Club. She and her husband, Kevin, are expecting their first child in January 2018.
