INDIANAPOLIS - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay junior Shannon Demrow has been named the Horizon League Women’s Swimmer of the Week while University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee junior Kelsey George claims Women’s Diver of the Week honors for the period of Nov. 30-Dec. 6.
Demrow posted two individual wins this past weekend in a meet at the University of Northern Iowa. The Algonquin, Ill., native, recorded times of 2:10.06 and 5:09.53 in the 200-yard butterfly and 500 freestyle, respectively. Demrow also was a member of Green Bay’s second-place 200 freestyle relay (1:39.26) squad.
George exceeded the NCAA Zone-qualifying scores on both boards this past weekend at the Miami (Ohio) Invitational. The Middleton, Wis., native, claimed fourth-place honors from the one-meter height with a tally of 275.05. Her three-meter final score of 261.75 was good enough for fifth place, but George met the NCAA mark in the prelims with a score of 286.50.
George is honored with her fourth weekly award of the season and of her career while Demrow now owns two weekly accolades all-time.
