BEREA, OHIO --  Junior diver Julie Pinter (Broadview Heights/Brecksville-Broadview Heights) has been named as Ohio Athletic Conference Diver-of-the-Week today (Monday, January 23, 2012).  This is the third time that Pinter has earned the award during her distinguished career.

Pinter is one of the finest female divers in Division III and is a four-time All-American, a 2-time OAC Diver of the Year and a 3-time OAC Diver of the Week.  She earned her third honor by virtue of her efforts in meets at Hiram College (Jan. 20) and at home against Ohio Northern University (Jan. 21). In a victory at Hiram, Pinter won the 1-meter event with 251.70 points and set a Hiram pool record in the 3-meter event with 251.90 points. Against ONU, she won the 1-meter voluntary event with a season-best score of 270.20 points and captured the 1-meter optional event with 183.05 points.  Pinter is undefeated this season against Division III competition.


Pinter and her teammates end the regular season this weekend when they travel to University Circle to compete at Case Western Reserve University on Friday, January 27 at 6:00 p.m. and then to University Heights on Saturday, January 28 to swim at OAC and Cleveland cross-town rival John Carroll University at 1:00 p.m.
