Women's Diver of the Week
Christina Loukas, Indiana
Jr., Riverwoods, Ill., Deerfield
Loukas swept both springboard events last week, topping four 2006 All-Americans in doing so. The Indiana junior's score of 373.95 in the three-meter competition was an IU school record, more than two points better than the previous mark, and a whopping 16.20 higher than the previous three-meter dual-meet school record. This is the fourth-career weekly selection for Loukas.
