LANCASTER, Pa. –
Riley Van Schaften (Glen Allen, Va./Deep Run), a sophomore on the Gettysburg women's swimming team, has been named Centennial Conference (CC) Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 26-Nov 1.
It is the first time she has claimed the conference's weekly honor.
Van Schaften had a big part in a pair of lopsided dual-meet victories for the Bullets over the week. On Saturday, she won the 200 butterfly in a program-record and NCAA B-Cut time of 2:04.49. That time ranks seventh in Division III. She also won the 100 butterfly at Franklin & Marshall on Friday with a time of 59.00 seconds and posted a time of 57.17 in the 100 butterfly against Scranton, which ranks 18th on the national list.
Gettysburg returns to action at home against No. 12 Carnegie Mellon on Saturday. Meet time is 1 p.m.
