Stanley became Illinois Wesleyan's first national champion after she took first in the 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships in March. The 2017 CCIW Female Swimmer of the Year, Stanley also claimed All-America honors in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a third-place finish.
