TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State swimming and diving redshirt senior Kayleigh Clark was named the ACC Women’s Diver of the Week on Tuesday, the league announced.
 
Clark earned the honor for the first time in her career following her performance at the Dual Meet Tournament at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta from October 17-18. She is Florida State’s first women’s diver of the week since February 2024.
 
“I’m super excited for Kayleigh,” head coach Neal Studd said. “She works so hard and really deserves this.”
 
Clark is the third Seminole to be recognized with ACC accolades through the team’s first two meets of the year, after sophomores Michel Arkhangelsky and Maryn McDade were named Swimmers of the Week on September 30.
 
In three head-to-head meets at the Dual Meet Tournament, Clark won four of six events with two runner-up finishes. Both springboard events were contested in each dual, with a three-dive format in each event.
 
In the opening round against Army on October 17, Clark swept the boards, winning both the 1-meter (156.75) and 3-meter (159.85) events. She delivered a commanding 3-meter performance to win by nearly 20 points.
 
The Marietta, Georgia, native continued her strong showing throughout the tournament, taking first on 3-meter (171.30) and second on 1-meter (140.45) against No. 8 NC State. Closing out the weekend on October 18, Clark had another first-place finish on 3-meter (162.85) and was second on 1-meter (144.75) vs. No. 20 Auburn.
 
Clark’s first ACC Performer of the Week honor adds to an already impressive list of career accomplishments. During the 2024-25 season, she qualified for her first NCAA Championships in the 3-meter and platform events at the NCAA Zone B Championships. She also was named to the 2024 CSC Academic All-District Team and CSCAA Scholar All-America Second Team.
 
Up next, Clark and the Seminoles will host the All-Florida Invite on October 24 at 2 p.m. ET at the Morcom Aquatics Center.
