New York University freshman Max Norris earned two prestigious awards for his diving accomplishments last weekend.

For the fourth time this season, Norris captured University Athletic Association (UAA) Men’s Diving Athlete of the Week honors, while he also picked up his first selection of the season from the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).

Norris won the one-meter springboard with an NCAA Division III provisional-qualifying score of 290.85 points. Along with the win, Norris’ second place finish in the three-meter springboard (259.58 points) helped the Violets to a 169-106 victory over Vassar College, securing an undefeated dual season with a 9-0 record.

Norris will join the undefeated Violets as they gear up for the UAA Championships starting on February 20 at the University of Rochester.
