Luisa Fragoeiro Arco from Lisbon, Portugal, has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Tennessee for 2026-27. She wrote on social media:

Fragoeiro Arco has been representing Portugal on the international stage since 2022. She achieved notoriety at the 2023 European Junior Diving Championship in Rijeka, Croatia, placing 2nd in the platform event with 351.15 points and winning her country’s first-ever Euro Juniors diving medal.
She also competed at the 2024 World Aquatics Junior Diving Championships in 3m springboard (13th place) and 10m platform (19th); the 2024 LEN European Championships in 3m springboard (14th) and 10m platform (14th); and the 2024 Canada Cup of Diving in 3m springboard (10th) and 10m platform (8th).
Tennessee has invested in the success of its diving program, hiring legendary coach Jane Figueiredo to replace outgoing head diving coach Dave Parrington last April.
Fragoeiro Arco will join fellow diver Isabel Baley (ranked #1 in the class) and swimmers Charlotte Crush (#1), Molly Sweeney (#4), Eliza Wallace (#16), Mia Buff (“BOTR”), Leah Tigert, and Madison Kryger in the Tennessee class of 2030.
