Mannix, the school record holder in both diving events, is capping off a stellar freshman campaign in which she was named the Patriot League Female Diver of the Week an impressive four times and was also named the ECAC Female Diver of the Week on one occasion. Mannix, who won a total of five diving events this season, is coming off a fourth place finish in the one-meter dive and a five-place showing in the three-meter dive at last month's Patriot League Championships.
