Maggie Rezac Named Forester Athlete of the Week
Junior diver earns award for third time in career

Maggie Rezac
LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Lake Forest College diver Maggie Rezac (Omaha, Neb./Marian) was named Forester Athlete of the Week Thursday (January 18) for her performance at the University of Chicago Invitational the previous weekend (January 12-13).

Rezac, a junior, placed first with an 11-dive score of 431.40 off the 3-meter board and she won the 1-meter competition with a mark of 418.70. Both scores are higher than the NCAA Division III National Championship Meet qualifying standards, ensuring her a chance in March of capturing All-American honors for the third year in a row.

Rezac’s 1-meter score is currently ranked fourth in the nation and her 3-meter mark is sixth. She placed among the top eight in the nation off both boards in last year’s championship meet and finished sixth in the 1-meter competition as a freshman.

Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays. Rezac also earned the award this past November and twice as a freshman.
