MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – Wheaton College (Mass.) women's diver Ella Kent (Framingham, Mass.) was named the New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference Women's Diver of the Week for the week of October 19-25, it was announced today by the NEWMAC.

The honor marks the second time that Kent has received the award in her career after being selected last year on February 2. Wheaton's 200-yard freestyle relay was also named the Relay of the Week and Anna St. Jean (Alexandria, Va.) was chosen as the Swimmer of the Week to give the Lyons their first sweep of the weekly awards since November 14, 2022 when the women's 200-yard medley relay was tabbed as the Relay of the Week in addition to Morgen Coughlin-Doyle '25 being chosen the Diver of the Week.

Kent posted a career-best 168.45 points to place second on the three-meter board against visiting Bentley University on October 23 in Wheaton's season opener. The sophomore was also the runner-up on the one-meter board with a tally of 167.33 points to just narrowly miss topping her previous best.

A graduate of Framingham High School, Kent scored four first place finishes on the one-meter board last season to go with a second place effort. She also finished in the top spot on the three-meter board twice. 

The Lyons return to the pool on Friday, October 30 when they travel to Wellesley, Mass. to take on Wellesley College at 5:00 p.m.
