Pittsburgh senior Dominic<\/strong> Giordano<\/strong> and Clemson freshman Freida Lim<\/strong> have been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Divers of the Week, while Pitt freshman Eben Vorster<\/strong> and Louisville senior Andrea Cottrell<\/strong> were tabbed with Swimmer of the Week honors.<\/p>\n

Giordano, who has been named men\u2019s Diver of the Week for the fourth time this season, opened 2017 in amazing fashion, breaking a nine-year old school record in the 1-meter as he won both of his events in the Panthers\u2019 triumph in the Backyard Brawl against local rival West Virginia. The senior\u2019s career-best six-dive score on one-meter of 434.63 etched his name in the Pitt and Trees Pool record books, while his total of 333.08 on three-meter also earned the Panthers maximum team points as they swept aside the Mountaineers in the team competition, 214-86.<\/p>\n

Lim started off 2017 as the only Tiger diver to finish in the top five during competition over this past weekend, continuing her established success on the platform during her freshman campaign. She posted an NCAA zone qualifying score of 252.80 in that event and finished amongst the top 25 in the three-meter dive.<\/p>\n

Vorster\u2019s collegiate career began with a perfect weekend as the Pitt freshman mid-year addition won all four events in which he competed in as the Panthers dominated West Virginia on Saturday, winning 214-86. The South African native cruised to victory individually in the 100 fly (50.22), 200 fly (1:49.78) and 200 IM (1:51.94) while also anchoring Pitt\u2019s winning 400 free relay team to a win in 3:03.36.<\/p>\n

Cottrell, a two-time ACC women\u2019s Swimmer of the Week recipient this season, recorded five first-place finishes in the Cardinals\u2019 win over No. 12 Missouri. In the women’s 200-breast, the senior put up an NCAA B-cut time of 2:11.84, almost three seconds ahead of the runner-up\u2019s time. The Ohio native won by the slimmest of margins, by one one-hundredth to be exact, boarding a 1:00.87 for first-place in the 100 breast. She also swam the second leg of both the 200 and 400 medley relays, each of which placed first.<\/p>\n
