National Championships
William & Mary has won two NCAA national team championships, both for men's tennis; the Tribe won back-to-back national championships in 1947 and 1948. During the era when the AIAW conducted women's collegiate championships, the Tribe women claimed one AIAW national team title, for golf (Divison II) in 1981.
Tribe athletes have also won individual national championships, including Gardner Larned (men's tennis singles, 1947), Fred Kovaleski and Bernard Bartzen (men's tennis doubles, 1948), Scott McCall (men's gymnastics -- rings, 1996), and Ramon Jackson (men's gymnastics -- parallel bars, 2004).

Famous quotes containing the word national:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
