ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -The University of New Mexico diving coach Abel Sanchez announced the signing of Courtney Brooks to a national letter of intent.
Brooks is the only signee for Coach Sanchez during the 2012 signing period.
Brooks will be graduating from Albuquerque’s Manzano High School this spring with a grade point average (GPA) of over 4.0. She is a three-time New Mexico State diving champion, who also owns all the Albuquerque Public School records in diving. She is ranked third among New Mexico’s 2012 Class 5A divers.
“I think Courtney will be a great addition to our team,” said Sanchez. “She’s one of our locals and I expect great things from her.”
Sanchez will be losing only one diver, Ashlee Erickson, to graduation this spring; and while losing the services of a two-time Mountain West diving champion and NCAA All-American might hurt, Sanchez’s squad is deep and extremely talented. Aubrey Bush, who medically redshirted her senior year due to injuries, will return along with Melissa Bollig, Megan Harper, Laura Lee Thomas and Michole Timm.
