Susan Pitt

Shortly after she turned 15, Pitt set a new world record in the 200-meter butterfly (long course) of 2:29.1 on July 27, 1963, which she held until it was eclipsed by Sharon Stouder in 1964.

[3] Pitt swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the women's 4×100-meter medley relay.

She received her award there, away from the spotlight enjoyed by the male athletes such as Joe Theismann who won the year before.

However, once she reviewed the results of the 1967 summer nationals she decided she had a chance to make the 1968 Olympic Team.

In 1973 (at age 25) Pitt set a record for the 200 Individual Medley (Long Course-Meters) at the U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) meet on June 22 with a time of 2:50.50.
