COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina senior Max Spencer picked up the Southeastern Conference Diver of the Week award on Tuesday, the second time the league has given him the weekly honor during his career with the Columbia program.
Spencer earned it by winning both springboard events Friday afternoon when the Gamecocks hosted Florida State at the Carolina Natatorium. He took the 1-meter with 343.73 points, with teammate Noah Stasik second at 303.08, and then broke the 400-point barrier on the 3-meter with a winning score of 418.20.
The meet was a good one for the whole roster. The South Carolina women routed the Seminoles 225-75, and the men won 163.5-136.5, their first victory over Florida State since 1991.
Spencer, who is from Essex, England, now has seven event wins this season. He came back for one more year after a back injury cut short his previous season midway through, and his teammates voted him a captain before the season began.
