Danielle Freund, Trinity University, 2015 Female Diver of the Year

DANIELLE FREUND OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY was named SCAC Diver of the Year in the 2014-15 season.

A freshman from Kennewick, Wash., Freund made quite the splash onto the Trinity diving team, earning All-America honors on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards at the 2015 NCAA Division III Diving Championships. Despite suffering a midseason injury that sidelined her for the conference championship meet, Freund was still able to make a triumphant return to the board for the NCAA Regional Meet where she took the top spot in the 3-meter event to earn her place at nationals.

Freund didn’t disappoint at the NCAA Championships, earning All-America honors with a fifth-place finish on the 3-meter board, and garnering Honorable Mention All-America accolades for her 10th-place finish in the 1-meter event. 

Continuing the program's dominance on the boards, Freund's selection as the league's Diver-of-the-Year marks the 10th consecutive year that a Trinity female student-athlete has earned the honor.
