With a season-best score of 421.80 the senior finished first in 3-meter diving and also notched a victory in platform with a 367.85, both NCAA Zone Diving qualifying marks. This is Ross’s second weekly award this season and of his career at Minnesota after last winning it Dec. 4, 2012. He earned the honor four times while at Wisconsin.
