Jake Burris makes the Albion College diving history books

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bobby Lee for the information in this story.)

Jake Burris, an Albion College senior from Chelsea, secured his fourth Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Most Valuable Men’s Diver award Saturday.

He is the first Albion diver – male or female – to win the award all four years.

Burris completed a four-year run of MIAA championships on the 1-meter board on Thursday. Burris fought through a slump in the third and fourth rounds to finish with a 500.20 total. In the process, Burris became just the third man to win the MIAA 1-meter title all four years.

Burris was the runner up in 3-meter diving on Friday.

Next up for Burris is the NCAA Division III Regional Diving Championship in Crawfordsville, Ind., this weekend.
