EAST STROUDSBURG - Freshman high jumper Lynn Mayer and junior first baseman Chris Zsenak are the ABC Trophy, Inc. Athletes of the Week for their performances over spring break at East Stroudsburg University.
Mayer (Parlin, N.J./Sayreville) became the 11th All-American in indoor track & field in school history when she cleared 5-7 to tie for fifth in the high jump at the NCAA Division II Championships last Saturday at Mankato State.
Mayer joins four other ESU high jumpers to earn indoor All-America honors, including current coach and former national champion Karen (Way) Gaita '91. She is also a member of the women's soccer team and started at defender in the Warriors' PSAC quarterfinal game at West Chester last fall.
Zsenak (Titusville, N.J./Hopewell Valley) hit .469 with two doubles, a triple, a home run and eight runs batted in to help the ESU baseball team go 5-6 during its spring break trip to the Gene Cusic Classic in Fort Myers, Fla.
He had six multiple-hit games and two three-hit games, including a 3-for-4 effort with a triple, two RBI and three runs in a 10-5 win over Southern New Hampshire. He also reached base four times in a 6-2 win over Rockhurst (Mo.), and hit a solo homer in a 10-3 win over Southwest Minnesota State to start the trip.
Mayer and Zsenak will receive red and silver plaques compliments of ABC Trophy, Inc. in Stroudsburg.
