CHICAGO – Indiana University's Michael Hixon was named the Big Ten Diver of the Week on Wednesday, the league office announced.
The honor is the second this season for Hixon and the sixth of his career. The Amherst, Mass. product was also named the league's diver of the week on Nov. 9, 2016.
Against No. 13 Michigan this past Friday, Hixon won both the 1-meter (430.43) and 3-meter dives (443.33) with NCAA qualifying times. The two wins against the Wolverines give Hixon six individual victories on the season.
This past summer, Hixon won a silver medal for Team USA in the 3-meter synchro at the Rio Olympic Games. The redshirt junior also placed 10th overall in the 3-meter at the Olympics.
