The Detroit Athletic Club named Catherine Leix its Michigan College Female Athlete of the Year during a ceremony held at the DAC Monday night. The former Flint Southwestern grad and standout Wayne State University swimmer was chosen as this year’s recipient over nominees from every other college in the state. “It’s a great honor,” said Leix, who earned the award based on her athletic performance, academics and work in the community. “I had no idea that I had even been nominated by my school and then got a letter inviting me. I assumed it was just an invitation because I had been nominated but then found out I won and was just blown away by it.” Photos of Leix are included.
