Yee helped Lisa Boyce '14 reach the NCAA Championship final in the 100 fly and earn First-Team All-America honors. She also guided a member of that Class of 2016, Nikki Larson, to her first NCAA Championships. And she did it all while leading the recruiting efforts of a highly touted Class of 2018, which included 2016 Ivy League 200 back champion Lindsay Temple. That class helped bring the Ivy League championships back to Princeton season. The Tigers rallied during the final session, thanks in big part to the work of that freshman class, to stun both Harvard and Yale en route to the program's 22nd Ivy League title during the final session of a dramatic championship weekend. Under Yee's tutelage, Boyce won nine Ivy League individual titles during her brilliant career, including all three she entered in both the 2012 and 2013 championships. Though she left, Princeton won the 50 free and 200 free at Ivies and comprised half the field in the 100 final.

Yee, who worked with two club programs, including once as a head coach, spent most of her coaching career at Washington State. She coached a 2008 Lithuanian Olympian, an Australian national champion, a U.S. Olympic Trial finalist and a World University Games semifinalist; those were among the handful of collegiate honorees, including two All-Americas, six NCAA qualifiers and 13 individual school record holders. She helped Washington State to a pair of Top 40 finishes and a No. 1 finish in overall team GPA. She helped the Cougars to their third victory ever over Washington and helped the program earn more than 50 NCAA consideration standards. Yee came to Washington State after spending seven years with the University of California swimming program. During that time, the Golden Bears improved from being a 28th place team to finishing fourth at the 2000 NCAA Championships. Suzanne began her career at California as a student-athlete in 1994 and competed until shoulder surgeries forced her to retire in 1995. During the remainder of her stint at California, she worked with the team as a volunteer assistant coach while finishing her undergraduate and graduate degrees. As a volunteer assistant coach, Yee worked with a team whose athletes set school records in 14 events and broke world records in the 200-meter medley relay and 50-meter backstroke. She also aided in the coaching of four swimmers who qualified for the 2000 Olympic Games. Yee has had head coaching experience at the Miramonte Swim Club in Moraga, Calif., where she worked with over 200 swimmers.
