With a first-place finish in the 3-Meter Springboard this past weekend at Incarnate Word, Micaela Bouter earns American Diver of the Week honors.
The senior closed out competition at the dual with both a first and second-place finish in the 3-Meter and 1-Meter springboard, respectively. Bouter tallied up 328.25 points in the 3-Meter and 281.55 points in the 1-Meter, helping Houston top Incarnate Word in its season opener.
