CARBONDALE, Ill.- For the third time this year, Southern Illinois diver Kaixuan ‘Sherry’ Zhang was named Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Diver of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
Zhang is coming off another sweep of the one and three-meter dive, this time against Illinois State and the University of Illinois, in a double dual meet on Nov. 1. In the one meter-dive, Zhang put together a score of 353.20 to defeat her competition. Her score was nearly 22 points higher than the Redbirds’ Wenting Zhang. Zhang saw the same results in the three-meter dive, this time earning a score of 403.45, which was almost 40 points more than the second place finisher. Her wins this past weekend bring her total to six on the year and she remains undefeated.
Zhang will look to add to her win tally this Friday and Saturday, when SIU travels to Lexington, Ky., for a two-day competition that also features Kentucky, Missouri, and Northwestern.
