LARAMIE, Wyo. -

University of Wyoming divers Lauren Colaric and Oscar Delgado have been selected as Mountain West Conference women's and men's divers of the week, respectively.

Colaric, a sophomore transfer from Auburn University, was instrumental in the the Cowgirls' 131-34 blowout victory over Metro State Nov. 4. The Grand Junction, Colo., native swept both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events with scores of 264.30 and 277.80. Her score on the 1-meter was a personal best and the eighth best mark in Wyoming history while her score on the 3-meter board was the third best in school history. Colaric's finish on the 3-meter also automatically qualified her for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships.

Delgado, from Covina, Calif., swept both diving events for the second consecutive meet this season, winning the 1-meter with a score of 274.12 and the 3-meter with a score of 268.35. His performances helped lead the Cowboys to an easy 126-62 victory over Metro State Nov. 4. This is the second time this season Delgado has earned athlete of the week honors.
