CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Radford sophomore Katie Shaffer (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes) has been selected as the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Women’s Diver of the Week, as announced by the league office Wednesday afternoon.
“Katie is an amazing athlete bursting with potential,” said diving coach Kevin Schwenk. “This is going to be a great year for her.”
Shaffer was selected diver of the week for the second straight time in her career after winning both the one and three-meter diving events in Radford’s dual meet with College of Charleston. She recorded a score of 202.64, which broke her previous record in the one-meter by 11 points. Along with her new school standard, Shaffer also placed first on the three-meter board with a score of 222.60
“Katie continues her assault on our varsity records,” commented head coach Randy Jarman. “Her work ethic, determination and approach to diving has elevated this entire program. With her continued improvement, we are expecting a great season from her.”
The Highlanders will be back in the water this weekend when they host Randolph-Macon.
