Charlotte Williams '13 may be new to the Dartmouth women's swimming and diving team, but early success in the pool has not been elusive for the freshman. As a member of the Big Green, Williams has already posted several first-place finishes against some of the most competitive teams in the league and continues to perform with consistency, showing no signs of letting up.
