LSU diver Chiara Pellacani was named the LEN European Aquatics Female Diver of the Year last week, the organization announced.

Pellacani, a native of Rome, Italy, immediately acclimated to the high standards of the LSU diving program after joining in the Spring semester of 2022. She finished the season with three months of collegiate competition under her belt and won SEC Female Diver of the Year.

Now, Chiara Pellacani has earned international recognition from LEN for her performances in the international and collegiate circuits. At the NCAA level, she just returned from the 2023 SEC Championships, where she earned two bronze medals on the springboard events. Pellacani, behind her teammate Montserrat Lavenant, earned the third-most points of any diver at the SEC meet.
