YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Each week, the Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics names the EMUCU's Athletes of the Week, as selected by the athletic media relations department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are women's track and field athlete, Natalie Cizmas, and baseball athlete, Max Schuemann.
Natalie Cizmas
Sport: Women's track and field
Position: Distance/Mid-Distance
Year: Senior
Major: Exercise science
Week's Achievements: Senior Natalie Cizmas (Clinton Twp., Mich.-Chippewa Valley) returned to action Friday-Saturday, March 30-31, as she took part in the Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C. for her first outdoor regular season meet. She started her weekend off competing in the 1500m, where she broke the program record with a time of 14:16.83, besting the old top time of 4:18.09 that was set in 1987. That mark currently ranks second in the conference and fourth in the country for the season. Additionally, in the second day of competition, Cizmas raced to an outdoor personal-record 800m time of 2:09.58 to place fifth in the event. That mark moved her up to eighth all-time in the EMU outdoor record book, and serves as the new top time in the conference thus far this season.
Max Schuemann
Sport: Baseball
Position: INF
Year: Junior
Major: Marketing
Week's Achievements: Junior Max Schuemann had a terrific week for the Eagles, who won the weekend series over Bowling Green. The shortstop batted .412, including seven hits, three doubles, three RBIs, and four runs scored, while only striking out once. He had two-hit days in all but one game, including a two-hit, two-RBI game in the series-opening win over BGSU, March 30. His efforts helped EMU win its first MAC series of the season, as well as its ninth-straight series win over BGSU.
