BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University redshirt junior diver Andrew Capobianco and freshman diver Anne Fowler were honored as Big Ten Divers of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Andrew Capobianco
B1G Men’s Diver of the Week
The Holly Springs, N.C., native continues to dominate in the early stages of the 2020-21 season, racking up two more victories against No. 17 Ohio State. He compiled season-best performances in both the 1-meter (417.00) and 3-meter (473.55) events against the Buckeyes. Both scores secured NCAA ‘A’ Standard marks for the reigning NCAA 3-meter champion.
Capobianco has been named the Diver of the Week for the fourth time in his illustrious Indiana career after securing the nod last week as well.
Anne Fowler
B1G Women’s Diver of the Week
Fowler, the reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Week, upped her standard by winning both the 1-meter (356.10) and the 3-meter (372.75) events against No. 14 Ohio State. Her 1M score broke the program’s dual meet record, made her the third-ranked IU performer in the history of the event, and ranks as the fifth-best overall score in Indiana women’s diving history. Her 3M score ranks her as the team’s fifth-best performer in the event and narrowly missed the dual meet record. Both scores set NCAA ‘A’ Standard marks.
She is the first IU female diver to earn this weekly award from the conference since Jessica Parratto on Jan. 30, 2019.
Indiana will be back in the pool on Feb. 6 for a three-team competition featuring host Purdue and Rutgers.
