A three-time AIAW individual national champion, 18-time All-American and three-time honorable mention All-American, (Borgmann) Robertson was one of the top individual medley swimmers in UT history. During her four seasons in Austin, she led the Longhorns to two AIAW national team titles and a pair of additional top-five team finishes at the AIAW National Championships. As a sophomore in 1979-80, (Borgmann) Robertson was a member of two AIAW national record-setting relays while competing in the 400 free relay and 400 medley relay. In her junior season (1980-81), she captured the national title in the 100 individual medley and was the third-highest individual point scorer at the 1981 AIAW National Championship with 87 points. (Borgmann) Robertson helped the Longhorns to the AIAW national team title, as she also recorded second-place finishes in the 50 butterfly and the 100 butterfly and third-place showings in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle relay. The 1981 squad was the first UT women’s athletics team to win a national championship. As a member of Team USA at the 1981 World University Games, she claimed the silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly and won gold in the 400-meter freestyle relay and silver in the 400-meter medley relay while racing with her UT teammate Jill Sterkel on both relays. (Borgmann) Robertson concluded her collegiate career by leading the Longhorns to their second straight AIAW national team championship in 1982, claiming national titles in the 100 and 200 individual medleys. She added third-place performances in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly and a fourth-place showing in the 100 freestyle and helped the 400 medley relay to a first-place finish and the 200 medley relay to a second-place showing.
