Utah diver Sterling Richards was named the Mountain West Conference Men's Diver of the Week for the second time this season on Thursday. Richards swept the board events in Utah's two conference meet victories last week. Against Wyoming, he turned in scores of 300 in the 1-meter and 315.30 in the 3-meter, then followed with scores of 317.7 and 329.92 in the 1-meter and 3-meter, respectively, to complete the weekend sweep.

This is the sixth time this season that a Ute has been honored with men's swimmer or diver of the week. Richards was awarded this honor on Jan. 14, as well.
