DURHAM – Freshman
Margo O'Meara was named the ACC Women's Diver of the Week following her performances at NC State, the league announced on Tuesday.
It is the fourth consecutive honor for O'Meara this season (Nov. 2, Nov. 9, Nov. 23 and Jan. 18). A native of St. Louis, Mo., O'Meara is the first women's diver to earn four consecutive awards since at least the 2013-14 season. In addition, her four honors in a season are the most by a women's diver since NC State's Madeline Kline earned four in 2018-19.
O'Meara earned her fourth award with a stellar performance at NC State. She swept the springboard competition with scores of 325.35 in the one-meter and 340.65 in the three-meter. So far in her collegiate career, O'Meara is undefeated on the three-meter board and has placed first in the one-meter in four of five competitions.
The honor is the Blue Devils' ninth ACC honor this season. O'Meara leads the Blue Devils with four, followed by
Yixuan Chang (Women's Swimmer of the Week Nov. 2),
Brendan Driscoll (Men's Swimmer of the Week Jan. 11),
Sarah Foley (Women's Swimmer of the Week Jan. 11),
Seamus Harding Jr. (Men's Diver of the Week Nov. 2) and
Cole Reznick (Men's Swimmer of the Week Nov. 2).
Duke returns to action on Friday, Jan. 28, as the Blue Devils host Tobacco Road rival North Carolina for Senior Day. The meet is set to begin at 4 p.m. at Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion.
