CLEVELAND—Sophomore swimmer Stephanie LeMire was named the Mid-American Conference Women’s Swimmer of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.

LeMire was one of only three Miami swimmers to win multiple events against Xavier. In the 100-yard breaststroke, she swam a time of 1:05.16 to place first. LeMire won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 52.80, touching the wall a second ahead of the next competitor.
