ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State swimming and diving's
Jecza Lopez (Diver) and
Grace Cummings (Freshman) claimed the conference's weekly honors this week following standout performances this past week at Ball State.
Lopez receives Diver of the Week honors for the eighth time over the 2025-26 season, while Cummings claimed Freshman of the Week honors for the fifth time as the Sycamores continue to receive recognition from the conference office.
Lopez continued her dominance on the diving boards this past weekend in Muncie, Ind. as the junior surpassed the 300-point mark in claiming both the 1M Springboard and 3M Springboard diving competitions.
Lopez scored 303.08 in the 1M Springboard on her way to winning the event by 70.5 points over the competition in which the Sycamores claimed four of the top five spots in the standings. She followed up by scoring 301.50 to claim the 3M Springboard title in winning by nearly 68 points as Indiana State put five divers in the top six spots.
Cummings continues to add to a stellar freshman campaign as the Kent, England native set a new standard in the 1000-yard Freestyle this past Friday night in the dual meet against Ball State. She took down the Lewellen Aquatic Center facility record without the need of a performance suit as the freshman went out in 10:06.98 to break the previous mark set by Notre Dame's Shelley Hotchkiss (10:11.55) set back in 1994. Cummings won the event by nearly 17 seconds in her first win of the day.
She followed up by claiming the 500-yard Freestyle win in 5:04.44 to win the event by three seconds to complete the distance sweep.
