5x NCAA National Champion, 5x SSC Champion
Phil Wood | Sunshine State Conference
MELBOURNE, Fla. - Nova Southeastern University swimmer Emily Trieschmann has been named the 2022-23 Sunshine State Conference Female Athlete of the Year. Trieschmann is the first swimmer to win the award. She ended the season as the CSCAA National Swimmer of the Year and the Sunshine State Conference Swimmer of the Year.
Voting for the award is conducted among Athletic Directors, Senior Woman Administrators, Athletic Communication Directors, and Faculty Athletic Representatives from each of the 11 SSC member institutions.
In her first season as a Shark, the sophomore from Lake Worth, Florida set numerous SSC and national records. Individually, Trieschmann set the national 1000-free record with a time of 9:43.25, and she was part of the NCAA record-breaking 800-relay team which swam 7:12.56 at the SSC Championships.
Trieschmann owns the SSC Championship records in the 500-free (4:46.29), the 1000-free (9:43.69), and the 1650-free (16:31.90). At the SSC Championships, Trieschmann won five events, as she helped the Sharks set the meet record with 1,041 points. She then went on to win five events at the National Championships (500-free, 1000-free, 1650-free, 800-free relay, and 200-medley relay), as she helped the Sharks win their first NCAA title in program history.
Trieschmann becomes the third Nova Southeastern student-athlete to be honored as SSC Female Athlete of the Year. She joins golfers Abbey Gittings (2011-12) and Sandra Changkija (2009-10 & 2010-11). She is the first swimming student-athlete to win the Female Athlete of the Year since the award was established in 1987-88.
