COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Colorado Mesa University's
Emma Lence and
Wyatt Hermanson swept the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's Diver of the Week honors, announced Thursday by conference officials.
Hermanson, a fifth-year diver out of Mandan, North Dakota, has now earned two consecutive RMAC Men's Diver awards this season and four in his overall career.
He won both the 1 & 3-meter events while helping the nation's fourth-ranked Mavericks crush 18
th-ranked Colorado School of Mines in an RMAC road dual last Friday (Oct. 16) by a 168-73 score.
Hermanson set NCAA qualifying scores of 320.33 points (1m) and 351.38 (3m), easily surpassing the qualifying standards of 285 (1m) and 295 (3m). His 3-meter score is the best 6-dive score in the country this season. His 1-meter score ranks him third, according to Swimcloud.
Lence, a junior from Fraser, Colorado, was honored as the RMAC Women's Diver of the Week for the first time in her career.
The Chatfield High School graduate led the Mavericks in both diving events during last Saturday's double dual with Division I Colorado State and Washington State. She finished third on the 1-meter board with 237.75 points and fourth in the 3-meter competition with 227.25 points.
Both Mav teams are off this weekend before continuing their season on Halloween (Oct. 31) in a dual at Division I Denver.
