New Mexico’s Aubrey Bush has been named the Mountain West Conference Diver of the Week as announced today. It is her second weekly honor of the 2010-2011 season and the third of her career.
Bush, a native of Franktown, Colo., posted two NCAA zone-qualifying scores on Friday in New Mexico’s dual meet against in-state rival, New Mexico State. The junior scored a season-best 305.25 points on the 1-meter springboard to win the event and qualify for the postseason. She also tallied a mark of 324.00 to lead all divers on the 3-meter springboard.
Bush and the UNM swimming and diving team will travel to Oklahoma City, Ok., for the MWC Championships taking place Feb. 24-27, 2011 on the campus of the Oklahoma City Community College. Last season Bush placed third in the 3-meter springboard and was MWC Champion on the Platform. She was named to the All-MWC swimming and diving team for her performance in the events.
