ST LOUIS, MO.-- Senior Eva Reyes was named Diver of the Week by the Missouri Valley Conference, as announced by the league office on Wednesday. This comes after a strong performance last weekend when the Birds hosted Saint Louis University (SLU). This is the second time this season she was named Diver of the Week.
Reyes took first place on the 3-meter boards with a mark of 294.75. In the 1-meter competition, she recorded a score of 291.68 for first place. This moves her career record to 9-0 inside Horton Pool on the 1-meter board.
During her time at Illinois State, Reyes earned MVC Diver of the Year honors both as a freshman and sophomore. A season ago, she was the second diver in program history and third diver in conference history to earn three-straight 1-meter titles.Â
In 2023-24, she was a two-time MVC Diver of the Week after stellar performances against Eastern Illinois on October 6 (claimed 1M and 3M titles) and Ohio on October 14 (swept 1M and 3M events).
The Tijuana, Mexico native, was named to the 2024 MVC Scholar Athlete Team and was a CSCAA Scholar All-American Team selection as a sophomore in 2023.
