ST. JOSEPH, Minn. -- Junior Haley Zelen (Shakopee, Minn.) of the College of Saint Benedict swimming and diving team has been named The House / St. Cloud Orthopedics CSB Athlete of the Week following a record-shattering performance at the MIAC Swimming and Diving Championships.

Zelen (Shakopee, Minn.) earned All-MIAC honors in seven events and made program history by becoming the first Bennie ever named MIAC Swimmer of the Year. She captured three individual conference titles, including one in record-breaking fashion. During the season, she was also a six-time MIAC Athlete of the Week selection.

Her championship run opened with a victory in the 50 freestyle, where she touched in 23.18 to become just the second Bennie in program history to win the event. She followed with a first-place finish in the 100 freestyle, clocking an NCAA invite time of 50.99 — the first conference title in that event in CSB history.

Zelen secured her third individual crown in the 100 butterfly, posting a school, MIAC and meet record time of 54.10. The mark currently ranks second in NCAA Division III this season.

She also swam on four record-setting relay teams, helping the 200 free relay (1:35.76 – school record), 200 medley relay (1:44.45 – school record), and 400 medley relay (3:51.91 – school record) capture conference titles. Zelen added a runner-up finish as part of the 400 free relay (3:31.36 – school record), capping one of the most decorated championship performances in program history.
