Elizabeth Heinbach Named Empire 8 Swimmer of the Week
Freshman
Elizabeth Heinbach (Cincinnati, Ohio) of the sixth-ranked Stevens Institute of Technology women's swimming team was named the Empire 8 Swimmer of the Week for her performance in the team's 148-140 win over in-state rival and ninth-ranked The College of New Jersey Sunday.
Heinbach earned wins in all three of her individual events, continuing an excellent rookie season for the Ducks. She took the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:48.99, the 500-yard freestyle in 5:15.91 and the 200-yard butterfly, clocking a 2:14.81.
Heinbach joins junior
Louise Moores (Mukilteo, Wash.) as the Stevens women's swimmers to earn the honor this year. Moores was named Swimmer of the Week October 22, November 12 and December 3.
The Cincinnati native and the rest of the Ducks will return to action at Hartwick College on Saturday in their final dual-meet of the season. The Ducks will then begin preparation for the Empire 8 Championships in late-February.
