Jeff Gerber graduated in May after a standout career in the pool for the Mammoths. After his first swim season at Amherst was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic, he went on to become a seven-time finalist at the NESCAC Championships over the next three seasons, all in breaststroke events. Gerber finished fourth at the NESCAC Championships in the 200-yard breaststroke and fifth in both the 50-yard and 100-yard breaststroke at his final NESCAC Championships as a senior in 2024.

In Gerber's final season with the Mammoths, he qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships for the first time and earned All-America honors with a ninth-place finish in the 200 breaststroke, tying the Amherst school record in the prelims with a time of 1:58.92. Gerber also broke the Amherst record in the 100 breaststroke at the national championship meet, touching in 54.74 seconds to place 17th in the nation.

Gerber's efforts in the classroom were just as impressive. Graduating magna cum laude with three majors in astronomy, mathematics and physics, Gerber completed a thesis titled "Limitations of Using Stellar Simulations to Constrain Physics Beyond the Standard Model". He was also a recipient of Amherst's William Warren Stifler Prize, awarded annually to a senior "for excellence in the advanced courses in physics".

A native of Annandale, Virginia, Gerber was selected as an Academic All-American this year for his accomplishments in both the pool and the classroom. He is now pursuing a PhD in physics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
