Junior earns first weekly award after helping the Eagles in victory over Miami
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Michael Kinross of the Eastern Michigan University men's swimming and diving team was named the Mid-American Conference Swimmer of the Week announced the league office today, Feb. 8. The award is a first for the junior.
The Crystal Lake Ill. native contributed to three first place finishes this past Saturday, Feb. 4 in the Eagles' 176.5-123.5 victory over Miami to help EMU to its 60th consecutive Mid-American Conference dual meet wins. Kinross, a 3.47 secondary education major, swept the butterfly events thanks to personal season best times in each. He completed the 100 fly in 50.96 and claimed first in the 200 fly with a time of 1:52.62. He also contributed in the Eagles first place 200 medley relay win that combined for a 1:33.44 finish—the second fastest time for the Green and White this season.
Kinross and the Eagles will return to action this weekend when they head to Columbus, Ohio for the Ohio State Winter Invitational.
