Minnesota junior Kelci Bryant and Golden Gopher diving coach Wenbo Chen received top honors from the College Swimming Coaches Association of American (CSCAA) following the NCAA Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.

Bryant was named the CSCAA Diver of the Championships after winning the 1-meter diving national title and adding national runner-up honors on the 3-meter springboard. Bryant is the first athlete to win multiple NCAA titles in Minnesota swimming and diving history. She was the 2010 NCAA 3-meter diving champion.

Chen coached both Bryant and freshman Maggie Keefer to All-America honors at the 2011 Championships. Keefer competed in all three diving events, earning All-America Honorable Mention acclaim with an 11th-place finish in 1-meter diving.

Southern California’s Katinka Hosszu was named the CSCAA Swimmer of the Championships after winning the 200 and 400 individual medley titles. California head coach Teri McKeever was honored as the CSCAA Swimming Coach of the Championships after directing the Golden Bears to the team title.
