GENEVA, N.Y.—William Smith junior diver Sarah Costanza (Gwynedd-Mercy/Ambler, Pa.) was named the Rochester Area College Athletics (RACA) Co-Female Athlete of the Week.

Costanza, the 2003-04 RACA Athlete of the Year for women’s swimming and diving, picked up where she left off last year. She had three first-place finishes and one second in the four diving events she entered during the week. Costanza also posted three scores that qualified her for the NCAA Division III Championship meet. Tuesday against RIT, she set a William Smith record for six dives on the 3-meter board with an NCAA qualifying score of 267.4, and won on the one-meter board by more than 30 points. In Saturday’s Rensselaer Invitational, Costanza had NCAA-qualifying scores of 268.75 on the 1-meter board and 262.7 on the three-meter board.

The William Smith swimming and diving team is back in action at 7 p.m., on Jan. 26, when the University of Rochester Yellowjackets visit Bristol Pool.
