At the conference level, Zaleski was a three-time NCAC Swimmer of the Year (2008, 2009, 2010) and was a 19-time NCAC event champion (seven individual and 12 relay), which was a program record at the time and is now the second-most in program history. She remains the Denison record holder in the 100 back (54.80) and the 100 fly (54.44), both of which have stood since 2009. At one point, she held NCAC records in the 50 free, 100 free, 100 back, and 200 medley relay. In 2008, Zaleski was named the National Swimmer of the Week and was featured in Sports Illustrated Faces in the Crowd.
