    EVANSTON, Ill. -- Sophomore diver Cosima Lenz (Altadena, Calif./Polytechnic School) has been named the Big Ten's Diver of the Week following a career performance Friday against Wisconsin.

    Lenz obliterated her career-bests on both springboards in Big Ten competition against Wisconsin, winning the 3-meter board with a 356.91 and the 1-meter with a 301.50 -- the first time she ever broke the 300-point barrier on the 1-meter board. The sweep also marks the first time this season she defeated her sister and earlier 2011 Big Ten Diver of the Week, Felicitas Lenz, in both events in a single meet.

    In a tri-dual with UIC and North Dakota Saturday, Cosima finished second behind her sister in both events to give NU a 1-2 finish and big points on both boards. All of the scores she recorded on the weekend were NCAA Zone qualifying totals.

    The honor is the first of Lenz's career.
