MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State swept the Mid-American Conference Scholar Athlete of the Week awards with diver Caitlin Locante taking the honor on the women's side and golfer Tyler Green on the men's.
Locante, a senior elementary education major with a 3.84 GPA, followed her school-record performance from Jan. 16 with another stellar performance, sweeping the 1M and 3M boards Feb. 12 at Miami to help the Cardinals to a near upset of the RedHawks in their home pool.
Locante's score of 296.25 on the 1-meter board was the best of her career, pushed her past the NCAA Zone Diving "A" cut mark of 295.
