ROSEMONT, Ill. – Penn State graduate student Daphne Wils has been tabbed Big Ten Diver of the Week, announced by the conference on Wednesday, November 9. Wils led the Nittany Lions to a 208-92 victory over West Virginia last Friday and earned two pairs of school and pool records in the 1-Meter (312.60) and 3-Meter (356.10) dives.
This is Wils first Big Ten Diver of the Week honor, it comes after her first meet at McCoy Natatorium.
"Happy for Daphne (Wils) and how things came together for the meet," said Penn State diving coach Jeff DiNicola. "Great sign for where we are in training for the year. It was a bit unexpected for her to get our team records so quickly but I'll take it!"
The Nittany Lions return to action next Thursday, November 17 for the NC State Invitational, their three-day, mid-season championship meet in North Carolina.
