BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – University of South Carolina freshman diver Taryn Zack has been named the SEC Diver of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. Zack swept both the one- and three-meter diving events in a tri-meet against No. 1 Georgia and Alabama last weekend. The award marks the first such of her career.

Zack swept both events on the boards in an SEC tri-meet against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama. The feat marked the second consecutive week she swept both events.

Zack, along with the rest of the Gamecock swimmers and divers are preparing for the upcoming SEC Championship Meet, set to begin on Feb. 15 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
