Hope College's Paige Kuhn has been named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Women's Swimmer of the Week.

The freshman from Hamilton, Michigan (Hamilton HS) is honored after clocking a season-best time of 18 minutes, 11.26 seconds in the 1,650-yard freestyle on Saturday during a dual meet victory at Kalamazoo College.

Kuhn, pictured, recorded the MIAA's second-fastest time of the season in the event.

This is the first time in Kuhn's career she has been chosen MIAA Women's Swimmer of the Week.
