LOWELL, Mass. – Graduate student Izzy Giesing (Bradford, Vt.) of the UMass Lowell women's track and field team has been named River Hawk of the Week. 

At the 2023 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships last Friday, Giesing represented Lowell on the national stage, competing in the 800-meter race and earning a 2:06.72 mark to finish in 12th place overall. 

With her performance, Giesing was named to the All-American Second Team for the second time in her career and became the second River Hawk to do so since the move to Division I. 

The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
