Emma Dutton came to FSU from West Yorkshire, England, and capped her fantastic career in 2004 by becoming the only Seminole ever named ACC Female Swimmer of the Year.
As one of the most decorated athyletes in FSU history, Dutton was a nine-time ACC Champion and 13-time medalist during her career. In 2004, she won seven events including the 50 free, 100 breast, and 200 breast along with four relays, and was voted the ACC Performer of the Meet - also the first FSU swimmer ever to win the honor.
Dutton was a part of six school records during her career, including an individual time in the 200 breast of 2:12.38 that stood for 12 years.
As a senior, Dutton earned All-America accolades after finishing eighth in both the 100 and 200 breast at the NCAA Championships and earned honorable mention honors on four relay teams. She was also part of the 200 free relay that earned honorable mention honors in 2003.
A three-time team MVP, she was named All-ACC in three of her four seasons while helping the Seminoles to runner-up team finishes in 2003 and 2004. In the regular season alone, she contributed to 79 first-place finishes, while leading the Noles to a 43-9 dual meet record.
