The William & Mary swim teams had six athletes and three relays honored as all-state for the 2021 season this week, with the announcement of the Virginia Sports Information Director's Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving All-State teams.  The Tribe women, runners-up in the Colonial Athletic Association and undefeated during the dual-meet season, had two swimmers make each the first and second teams, and also had three relays named second-team all-state, while the W&M men had two upperclassmen selected to the all-state second-team.

Earning first-team honors this year was sophomore Annie Tuttle (Alexandria, Va.), in the breaststroke events.  Tuttle swept the 100 (1:01.61) and 200 breast (2:14.25) at the CAA Championships in late March, breaking the school record in both races as well.  She is the first woman from W&M to win either event at the conference meet since Kelly Reitz '07 back in 2007.  Tuttle also swam on the CAA-title winning 200 and 400 medley relays, and just missed a fifth all-conference award when she was fourth overall in the 200 IM.  Overall for the season, she won a team-best seven races, and never finished anything over than first or second in the Tribe's 4-0 dual-meet campaign.

Also earning on a spot on the all-state first-team was junior Missy Cundiff (Leesburg, Va.) in the sprint freestyles.  Cundiff was 6-1 this season in the 50 free, including a runner-up showing at the CAA Championship finals.  She had seven NCAA provisional-qualifying races on the season, including swimming a lifetime-best 22.50 three times in one day at the CAA Championships (in the prelims and finals of the 50 free, as well as leading-off the 200 free relay).  Cundiff also finished fourth in the 100 free after setting a lifetime-best of 49.93 in the prelims.  She was a key member of the Tribe's relay teams, and earned gold on both the 200 free and 200 medley relays, in addition to silver on the 400 free relay.

Making the all-state second-team were the sophomore duo of Katie Stevenson (Wilton, Conn.) and Elizabeth Intihar (Columbus, Ohio).  Stevenson won six races on the year, and at the CAA Championships, was part of three championship relays including the 200 free, 400 medley, and 800 free relays.  Individually, she was runner-up in the 200 free, and also made the championship finals in both the 50 free (fifth) and the 100 free (eighth).  Intihar, meanwhile, also joined Stevenson on the winning 800 free relay, before winning the 500 free gold with a lifetime-best 4:48.00.  She also earned all-conference honors in bot the 200 free and the 1,650 free, finishing third in both events.  In the regular season finale against Old Dominion, she broke W&M's dual-meet records in the 200 free and the 500 free, finishing in 1:50.20 and 4:54.65, respectively.

The women's team also had three CAA title-winning relays named to the all-state second-team as well.  The 200 free relay included Cundiff, Stevenson, junior Anna Kenna (Chantilly, Va.), and senior Megan Bull (Hillsborough, N.J.), and earlier in the year broke W&M's dual-meet and pool records in the event as well as winning the conference title.  The 200 medley relay of Kenna, Tuttle, freshman Corinne Davenport (Elon, N.C.), and Cundiff also had dual-meet wins against Old Dominion and Davidson in addition to the CAA Championships to finish the year undefeated, and the 400 medley squad of Kenna, Tuttle, sophomore Maura Graff (Henrico, Va.), and Stevenson won gold in their only race of the season.

The W&M men had a pair of swimmers earn second-team all-state honors after strong individual campaigns.  They included senior Jake Kealy (Wilton, Conn.), who was chosen in the backstroke events.  Kealy was the CAA silver-medalist in the 100 back, setting a lifetime-best of 48.47 in the conference finals, and also finished fourth in the 200 back and fifth in the 200 IM.  He led the Tribe with four wins overall, including two wins over Davidson and one over Old Dominion in addition to turning in the top time in the prelims of the 200 IM at the CAA Championships.  Overall, Kealy set lifetime-bests in eight different events during his final season wearing the Green and Gold.

Joining him on the all-state second-team was junior Graham Hertweck (Greensboro, N.C.), in the sprints.  Hertweck led the Tribe in scoring this year, and earned a pair of individual all-conference honors.  He was the runner-up in the 100 free with a lifetime-best 43.84 coming in the finals, and also finished third in the 50 free as well as fifth in the 100 fly.  Hertweck led-off the runner-up 400 free relay, and also led the 200 free relay to silver after splitting a lifetime-best 19.98 in the lead-off position.
