Enos, Glinta, Li Win 2018 Pac-12 Swimming And Diving Post-Season Honors

USC senior Dashiell Enos was named 2018 Pac-12 Diver of the Year, Trojan freshman Robert Glinta was selected as the Pac-12 Swimming Freshman/Newcomer of the Year and USC head coach Hongping Li was picked as the Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year.

The USC trio joins the other Pac-12 Pac-12 men's swimming and diving postseason award winners named today: Stanford's Abrahm Devine was voted Swimmer of the Year, California's Jonathan Robinson was tabbed as Diving Freshman of the Year and California's David Durden was named Coach of the Year.

Enos repeated as Pac-12 Diver of the Year. He reached the podium in a pair of 2018 Pac-12 Championships events, placing second in both the 3-meter (420.25) and platform (397.75). Enos' large point total contributed to the Trojans' third-place finish at this year's Pac-12 Championships. The two-time defending Pac-12 3-meter champion earned NCAA All-America honors for the second consecutive year with an eighth-place finish on platform (373.20) and 15th on the 3-meter (376.00) as the only Pac-12 diver to place in both NCAA final events

Glinta, a native of Romania, was honored for his individual and relay efforts that contributed to USC's successful season. At the Pac-12 Championships, he took the podium twice as an individual with a runner-up finish in the 200 back (1:40.57) and tie for first place in the 100 back in the first-ever three-way tie at the Conference title meet. Glinta also swam the lead leg on USC's 200 medley relay that finished third at the league championships. The four Trojans went on to become NCAA champions in the 200 medley relay, posting a new pool record (1:21.82). Glinta, a five-time All-American, came into USC with plenty of experience as he competed at the 2016 Olympics, where he finished eighth in the 100-meter back (53.50) and 18th in the 200-meter back (1:57.91).

Li three-peats as Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year, collecting his fourth Conference men's award of his career (2009, 2016-18). He coached USC to four top-3 finishes at the 2018 Pac-12 Diving Championships, led by Henry Fusaro's 3-meter championship and 1-meter runner-up finish, and Pac-12 Diver of the Year Dashiell Enos' second-place efforts in the 3-meter and platform. Li has helped Enos win back-to-back Pac-12 Men's Diver of the Year awards and become a two-time All-American and three-time NCAA scorer. In his 19th season at USC, Li has established himself as one of the most successful NCAA coaches and is a two-time NCAA Coach of the Year (2002, 2006). He also has won 11 Pac-12 Women's Coach of the Year nods and in his career has directed nine men's and women's USC divers to a combined 42 All-American honors, eight NCAA titles and 36 conference titles.
