Marshall University junior Megan Wolons was named Conference USA Diver of the Week for the second straight week, the league office announced Tuesday.
Wolons broke the decade-old, 3-meter school record in her victory against Old Dominion and host Davidson last weekend. She also qualified for the NCAA Zone Championships with her winning 3-meter score of 304.85.
TRAMEL TALK
Marshall coach Bill Tramel on the meet:
"Really looking forward to racing at Cleveland State. They have a fantastic facility and it's fast. This will be a welcome challenge for us, with two 16 event meets within 24 hours, much like a championship setting. We need to be resilient, especially the second day, to prepare for conference."
