HOUSTON, Texas – Freshman Scotia Mullin was named Western Athletic Conference Diver of the Year following the conclusion of the WAC Championship last weekend. UW diving coach Kyle Bogner was awarded WAC Diving Coach of the Year.

Wyoming’s divers finished in the top six of each of the three events at the WAC Championship last weekend. Mullin placed second in the 3-meter with a score of 349.75. Senior Jacob Rehmeier took third with a 319.85, while redshirt-sophomore Ryan Russi earned fifth with a 284.95. Mullin then earned his first WAC title on the 1-meter with a mark of 311.60. Rehmeier took second with a score of 290.60 and Russi finished fourth with a 286.40. All three divers posted season-best scores on the 1-meter.

Mullin’s most impressive performance came in the platform where he scored a 423.85, shattering the WAC record by over 79 points. His career-best mark was the second-highest in school history. Russi placed fifth in the event with a 281.90 and Rehmeier took sixth with a 266.25. All three scores in the platform were also season highs.

Wyoming won five WAC ‘Diver of the Week’ honors this year under Bogner, who is in his second season as UW’s head diving coach. Mullin won three weekly awards and Russi earned two.

The divers will be back in action next week at the NCAA Zone E regionals. Mullin and Russi will compete for the Cowboys, while freshman Karla Contreras, senior Keely Bishop and senior Lauren Puglisi will suit up for the Cowgirls.
