Roger Williams University Athletics

BRISTOL, R.I.- Junior women's diver Cara Naylor (Windsor, Conn.) has been chosen as the Roger Williams Female Athlete of the Week.  This past weekend, she earned the Hawks 18 points in their home opener against RPI after winning both the 1 meter and 3 meter diving events.  In the 1 meter event, she broke her own school record, setting the new record at 216.25 points.

"To do this (win both events) only three weeks into practice is amazing" said Head Swimming & Diving Coach Julie O'Brien.  "To get into the rhythm with her dives and perform at the degree of difficulty she did is incredible."

Coach O'Brien will look to Naylor to place in the top six at the New England Championships later in the season, and also to be at the top of the TCCC Invitational. 

While the Men's and Women's Swimming Teams go on the road at Bryant University this weekend, the next diving event will be at home on November 2 against Wheaton College.
