ST. LOUIS – For the third time this season, freshman diver Eva Reyes has earned the title of Missouri Valley Conference Diver of the Week after breaking the platform dive school record at the Purdue Invitational last weekend.
Reyes continues to impress meet after meet, breaking the Illinois State school record in the platform dive (5) with a score of 209.15 on the final day of the three-day Purdue Invitational.
