Marylyn Chiang (born 1977)[1] is a Canadian former swimmer who won two silver medals at the 2000 FINA Short Course World Championships in Athens, Greece.[2] She has held Commonwealth, US Open, NCAA and Canadian records in backstroke and butterfly, including the Canadian 100m backstroke record for 9 years. In her collegiate career, she led a resurgence in University of California, Berkeley's swimming program, when she won the first NCAA title for the school in the sport in eleven years.[3] In so doing, she set an NCAA record. Further, won the first of five consecutive Pacific-10 Conference female swimmer of the year honors for the Golden Bears in 1999.[4] Haley Cope would win in 2000, and Natalie Coughlin three times in a row, from 2001 to 2003.[5] In 2009, Marylyn was inducted in Cal Berkeley's Sports Hall of Fame.[6]
