Wheaton College Athletics

Hillary Conley Nelson was a four-time CCIW singles champion in women’s tennis, winning the No. 1 singles titles in 1989 and 1990. She was a participant in the NCAA Division III Singles Championship as a senior. Conley also was a three-time CCIW Champion in doubles, winning at No. 1 doubles in 1989 and 1990 and winning at No. 3 doubles in 1988.

Hillary reflects on her time at Wheaton, “My tennis career at Wheaton taught me great discipline. Wheaton requires each student to work hard and contribute to their classes. Then, add athletics to the picture and great discipline was required. Some days this was joy and other days this was just hard work. However, the discipline, perseverance and commitment are lessons that were worth working for.”
