With four All-SCIAC First Team selections, multiple school records and an NCAA National Singles Championship appearance, Kitto proved herself as perhaps the best women's tennis player in Caltech history.

The dominant player holds the school record in career singles wins with 53 as part of an incredible 53-11 record (30-8 vs. SCIAC). Kitto also ranks first in program history in single-season singles wins (19) and career doubles wins (34). She sits tied for third all-time in single-season doubles wins, with 12. The star earned the title of Caltech Female Athlete of the Year for two straight years (2012, 2013) and was a four-time team MVP.

In her final year as a Beaver, she picked up nine wins and ranked as high as ninth regionally and 44th nationally among all Div. III singles players. She made history after qualifying for the NCAA National Tournament in singles, becoming just the second-ever female Caltech athlete to compete in back-to-back NCAA Championships.

Her junior season, she recorded an unbelievable 19-0 record (10-0 vs. SCIAC) prior to NCAA singles tournament play, where she won an additional two matches. Six of her 21 total wins came over regionally-ranked opponents. That year, Kitto ranked as high as seventh regionally and 32nd in the nation for singles, playing the entire season at either the No. 1 or No. 2 spot. In doubles, she picked up 13 wins. 

This campaign came after an incredible sophomore year in which Kitto went 13-1 in singles action (8-1 vs. SCIAC) – all in the first position. She dropped just four sets all season. In doubles, the star earned seven impressive victories. As a rookie, Kitto collected 12 dual match wins at the top singles position as part of a 12-4 record (7-3 vs. SCIAC foes). 

While known for her dominant tennis career, Kitto also played volleyball, where she connected for over 100 kills, 18 aces, 13 assists and 26 total blocks. The scholar graduated with a degree in Chemistry in 2014.
