The Wheaton College Department of Athletics held its annual awards ceremony last night. To read the complete article, click here.
Senior Nicole Zais picked up the Debi Field Athlete Award as the school's top female athlete. Zach Hicks '07 drew the Claudia Friese Special Recognition Award, which recognizes behind-the-scenes dedication to the athletic program.
A three-time All-American, Zais became the first women's swimmer in program history to garner All-America accolades in an individual event, doing so twice this past winter in the 100- and 200-yard breaststrokes. She placed sixth in the 200 breaststroke, leading the Lyons to a tie for 37th place nationally. Nicole has a program-high-tying 13 all-league finishes, which requires placing in the top two at the conference championship, and she is a part of an astounding nine school records. Way to go NICOLE!!
Zach was a four-year member of the men's swimming & diving team. He returned to Wheaton for a two-year stint as the coordinator for varsity sports and external relations. In addition to his role as a member of the athletic department's senior management staff, Zach served as an assistant to the men's and women's swimming & diving coach. If that wasn't enough, this past year, Zach added director of club sports, intramurals and recreation to his job title, along with coordinator of the Wheaton Athletic Mentors (WAMs), which is the school's student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC). He also helped to create a mentorship program for the United Men of Color (UMC) community called Champ. Way to go ZACH!!

Wheaton finishes 4th at MIT Invite
The men and women arrived at MIT this weekend ready to swim fast and prove to Tufts, MIT, Colby, Bowdoin, Harvard and NYU that they were a force to be reckoned with. The first event of the weekend, the 200 freestyle relay saw Adrianne Madden, Nicole Zais, Steph Perkins and Dania Piscetta swim a winning time of 1:35.61, 4 tenths off a school record, good for an NCAA "B" provisional cut time. The four of them also dominated the final event of the weekend, the 400 freestyle relay with an NCAA "B" provisional cut time and school record of 1:33.38. Other wins included Dania Piscetta in the 50 and 100 freestyle (23.74, 52.38), both NCAA "B" cut times and school records and Nicole Zais in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes (1:05.98, 2:23.14), also NCAA "B" cut times. Adrianne Madden also achieved an NCAA "B" provisional cut time of 23.99 and a second place finish in the 50 freestyle.
The men had a fantastic meet as well. The 200 freestyle relay team of Zach Fichman-Klein, Sam Neill, Ben Sabol and Emmerson Jenkins snagged a 7th place finish with a season best, 1:28.47. Freshman Diver Charlie Maier finished 2nd on the 3 meter dive event with a season best, 221.10.
