William Smith's Casey Sherwin was tabbed the Liberty League Women’s Swimming & Diving Co-Rookie of the Week by the conference office today. She led the Herons to victory in the Skidmore Sprint Invitational on Saturday.

Sherwin factored into both of William Smith’s victories in the three-team meet. She posted the lone individual victory for the Herons, winning the 50-yard butterfly in 29.24 seconds, 0.02 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Sherwin also swam a lap for the winning 200 freestyle relay team that touched the wall in 1:47.06.

Additionally, Sherwin turned in a second-place finish in the 50 backstroke in a time of 30.75, 0.14 seconds off the winning pace, and a third-place effort in the 100 butterfly (1:05.99).

William Smith won the invitational with a score of 232.5, 11 points better than the host Thoroughbreds and 41.5 ahead of Vassar.

William Smith will be back in the pool, Feb. 17-20, when the Herons compete in the Upper New York State Collegiate Swimming Association Championships.
