Indianapolis, Ind. -- Youngstown State freshman diver Casey Hill was selected as the Horizon League Women's Diver of the Week for the period of Nov. 16-22, the conference announced recently. Joining Hill as the Horizon League Women's Swimmer of the Week was Cleveland State freshman Joanna Olsson.

Hill earned the accolade for the first time in her young career by notching two first-place finishes at the Radford Invitational where the Penguins finished third among seven teams. The Bethleham, Pa., native, registered the school’s fifth all-time best performance off the one-meter board with a score of 250.90. She also posted a score of 233.18 from the three-meter board, extending her event-win streak to eight this season.

The last YSU diver to earn Weekly honors by the conference was Kelly Reese in November 2006.
