Cowboy Diver Claims WAC Diver of the Week

by staff–8 Jan ’19

For the second time this season, senior Ryan Russi was selected as the Western Athletic Conference Diver of the Week. It’s the fourth time in his career he has earned the honor.

Russi swept both diving events in last Saturday’s dual 163.50-136.50 win over Cal Baptist. A senior from Murrieta, Calif, he finished first in both dives with a score of 290.40 in the 1-meter and 294.80 in the 3-meter. His score in the 1-meter dive was a season-best and he won the 3-meter dive by more than ten points. 

The Cowboys will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 26 against UNLV. The meet is scheduled for 12 p.m. MT in Las Vegas.
