NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. — Penn State Altoona freshman Avery Heisey (Lancaster, Pennsylvania/Conestoga Valley) was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference’s Women’s Swimmer of the Week on Nov. 4.

Heisey recorded a pair of first-place finishes in the Lady Lions’ 74-61 victory at AMCC opponent Franciscan University on Saturday afternoon.

Heisey won the 50 Yard Freestyle, clocking in at 27.91. She also placed first in the 100 Yard Freestyle with a time of 1:00.98.

This is Heisey’s first career AMCC Swimmer of the Week award, and it is also the third time already this season that a Penn State Altoona women’s swimmer has earned the conference’s weekly award.
