NAZARETH'S EMILY LESHER NAMED
EMPIRE 8 ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Feb. 5, 2007) -- Emily Lesher, a junior on the Nazareth women’s swimming and diving team, was named Empire 8 Athlete of the Week for the seven-day period that ended Feb. 4. It marks the fourth time this season that Lesher has been honored as the Empire 8's top swimmer.

Lesher is a native of Sherrill, N.Y. and a graduate of Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School. She helped the Golden Flyers complete their second straight unbeaten dual meet season by winning three events in a 185-115 victory at RIT last Saturday. She won the 100 backstroke, the 100 freestyle and the 200 IM to improve her career dual meet record to 49-0.

Nazareth competes again Feb. 16-18 at the Empire 8 Conference championship meet.
