Academic Achievement

Heinrich has maintained a B-plus average in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Heinrich intends to ink a financial-aid agreement that paves the way for her to enroll early at Creighton University. She will graduate from high school this December and begin collegiate classes in the spring semester.
