Roger Williams University Athletics

BRISTOL, R.I.- Sophomore diver Joe Mello (Seekonk, Mass.) has been selected Roger Williams University Male Athlete of the Week after his record-setting performance on both the 1 and 3 Meter diving boards last week. 

Mello broke his own record on the 1 Meter board by nearly twenty points, establishing the new record at 228.15 points and winning the event for the Hawks.  He also set a new record on the 3 Meter board, breaking Cody MIller's record by 13 points and setting the new bar at 195.75 points.

"Joe has made some major strides since the beginning of the season" said Assistant Coach Alisha Lee.  "He has some new and more difficult dives in his list and he is doing them well."

Mello and the Hawks will compete again on February 22, 23 and 24, as Roger Williams hosts the Division III New England Championships.
