Delaney Schnell is the Pac-12's Diver of the Year for the second consecutive season.ย 

Arizona Wildcats diver Delaney Schnell was awarded 2022 Women's Pac-12 Diver of the Year for the second consecutive season while UA's diving coach Dwight Dumais was named the conference's Women's Diving Coach of the Year.ย 

Schnell's senior year as a Wildcat was one for the record books as she won the Pac-12 championship in both the 3-meter and 1-meter dives in February at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center in Tucson. Last season, she won the platform and 1-meter conference championships en route to her first Pac-12 Diver of the Year award.

Dumais, once a five-time All-American diver at Stanford, has been on UA's coaching staff since 2018 after previously coaching at Texas for nearly a decade (2010-18). He's just the second Arizona coach to earn Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors, joining Omar Ojeda (2015).

After taking home two Pac-12 titles in February, Schnell competed in the NCAA Championships in March where she placed fourth in the 3-meter dive, fifth in the 1-meter dive and was the national runner-up in the platform dive.
