Kristen Heinrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kristen Heinrich (b. August 28, 1979) is an Australia Netball player.

Kristen received her first call up to the Australian Netball Team in June 2004, after Australian shooter Catherine Cox was injured a week before the team was due to fly to New Zealand for a Test Series against the Silver Ferns.

In November 2004, Kristen was named in the Australian Netball Tour Squad for the Holden Astra Netball Test Series, the return test series against the Silver Ferns but did not make the team on this occasion.

Heinrich was selected in the Australian 21U Squad in 1999.

Kristen’s invitation to join the Australian Squad resulted from an outstanding year in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy, notching up an average of 31 goals per game in the 2004 season, making her the third highest scoring shooter behind fellow Australian shooters Catherine Cox (37) and Sharelle McMahon (32). Kristen made her international debut against New Zealand in June 2004 and has been a permanent member of the squad ever since.
