Elyria Catholic’s Evann Heidersbach, who is heading to Ohio State on a swimming scholarship, recently became the EC’s first ever All-American in the sport of swimming.

Heidersbach earned All-American status based on her performance in the Northeast Ohio District Swimming Championships at Cleveland State University this past season. The All-American rankings were recently released. Heidersbach was ranked 78th in the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.63 and 107th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 1:01.41.

“Evann's accomplishment is a great way to cap-off a remarkable high school swimming career,” EC coach Jack Dibee said. “I am very excited for Evann to earn this honor. I know her swimming career is going to continue to excel at Ohio State.”
