Rider University Athletics

In the late 1980s, Rider competed in the East Coast Conference. Rider had just begun a women's varsity swim team in 1985-86, and the person who made the team a legitimate Division I contender was Dianne Bisacky.  The first and only Rider woman to win an ECC title (100 freestyle), Bisacky broke or re-broke 28 Rider team records and four Rider pool records during her stellar career.  She graduated with Rider records in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 200 freestyle, 200 backstroke and the 200 individual medley.
