Albion College sophomore Jake Burris was selected as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Diver for the second year in a row.
The Chelsea resident won the 1- and 3-meter events in the league’s championship meet.
Diving Coach Eric Burris said his son backloads his routine, and despite a couple of early bobbles, he came up with high scores in the end. Jake Burris’ final 3-meter dive was awarded 61 ½ points and he finished with a 509 ½ total.
Burris and teammate Henry Swett, the runner-up in both diving events, will travel to Grand Rapids next weekend for a regional meet which will determine those advancing to the NCAA Championship.
