Triin Aljand enters the Hall of Fame as one of the most decorated and accomplished swimmers in school history. She shares a program record of 23 All-America honors and won a combined 16 individual and relay conference titles. Aljand concluded her collegiate career with five school records to her name, all of which are still top-five marks in the A&M record book.
The Estonian led the Maroon & White to its first two conference titles in 2007 and 2008. She also propelled the Aggies to three top-10 finishes at NCAA Championships, including a then-program best fourth-place finish at the 2008 NCAAs. In 2008, she posted seven top-10 finishes at the championships meet, helping the 400 free relay team go 3:13.08 to lower the school record. In the final meet of her collegiate career at the 2009 NCAAs, Aljand broke two more A&M records with a time of 21.93 in the 50 free and helping the 200 free relay team clock a time of 1:28.04.
Aljand competed in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics before retiring in 2013. She and fellow Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Famer Alia Atkinson are the only two Aggies in program history to have competed in three-or-more Olympic Games.
