IRVING, Texas (January 10, 2018) -- Ahead of Thursday's dual meet with Central Connecticut State, freshman diver Rachel Foord (Melbourne, Australia) earned Conference USA Diver of the Week, the league announced Wednesday. This is the third such recognition for Foord and the sixth time in seven awards that an FIU diver has earned the honor.
Foord took first in the 3-meter diving event with an NCAA Zone-qualifying score of 281.95 at the FIU Sprint Invitational last Friday at the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Center. It was her fourth win in last five events and helped the Panthers finish first of 11 teams at the Invite.
