North Bend High School junior Rachel Heaney was named this week to the USA Swimming Scholastic All-America Team for the 2007-2008 school year.

Heaney was among 974 athletes, including just 25 from Oregon, to make the list.

Heaney has close to a 4.0 grade-point average, and was honored because of that and a fast time she swam in the 1,500-meter freestyle in a meet in Corvallis earlier this year.
