Anisko, Laskowski claim Big Ten Diving Honors

Two Spartan divers garnered conference awards this week.

Senior Stephanie Anisko and sophomore Justin Laskowski were selected as the Big Ten Conference Divers of the Week on Tuesday.

The two combined for six first-place diving finishes as the MSU men defeated Northwestern and Ball State, and the women's team split, besting the Cardinals and falling to the Wildcats.

Anisko, a co-captain for the Spartans, won every diving event she competed in this weekend. This is her second straight honor, as she received the award in the final selection before the holiday recess.

Laskowski earned the award after claiming two first-place finishes. This is his first time being honored, however this is the second-consecutive week a Spartan diver has received the award, as senior Nick Visscher won the award prior to break.

MSU returns to action at 5 p.m. Friday when they travel to Columbus, Ohio, to face Big Ten foe Ohio State.
