Hawkeye men’s diver Addison Boschult was named Big Ten Diver of the Week on Tuesday.

At the Hawkeye Invitational this past weekend, Boschult placed first overall in the platform-diving competition — setting an NCAA zone-qualifying mark in the process.

His platform final score of 373.85 also set a school record.  In addition, the native of Omaha also competed in the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions, scoring points for the Hawks in both events.

This is Boschult’s first career Big Ten diving honor.  He is the first Iowa diver to do so since Frank Van Dijkhuizen in 2009. 

Boschult and the Hawkeyes will return to action on Dec. 30 in San Diego.
