TEMPE, Ariz. -- Two Arizona State Sun Devil divers have been plunging head-first into more than the diving well at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center during the last year. Redshirt senior David Hoffer, fresh off an All-American final season, and sophomore Frida Kaellgren were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team earlier this month.
In an environment where the student side of "student-athlete" is at some points overlooked, these two elite Sun Devil divers are immersing themselves into all aspects of the college landscape.
"It's, of course, really fun to just be recognized for the hard work you've put in, not just as a diver, but also as a student because that sometimes gets forgotten," Kaellgren said.
