Senior Eva Reyes has been recognized as the Diver of the Week by the Missouri Valley Conference, as announced by the league office. This honor follows her strong performance last weekend when Illinois State hosted Saint Louis University. It marks the second time this season that Reyes has received this accolade.
Reyes achieved first place on the 3-meter boards with a score of 294.75 and also secured first place in the 1-meter competition with a score of 291.68. This achievement brings her career record to an impressive 9-0 on the 1-meter board at Horton Pool.
During her tenure at Illinois State, Reyes has earned MVC Diver of the Year honors both as a freshman and sophomore. Last season, she became only the second diver in program history and third in conference history to win three consecutive 1-meter titles.
In the 2023-24 season, Reyes was named MVC Diver of the Week twice following notable performances against Eastern Illinois on October 6, where she claimed both 1M and 3M titles, and against Ohio on October 14, where she swept both events.
Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico, Reyes was also named to the 2024 MVC Scholar Athlete Team and selected for the CSCAA Scholar All-American Team as a sophomore in 2023.
