Senior Diver Wins National Title, Junior Leads Men’s Basketball to Victory
PITTSBURGH – University of Pittsburgh student-athletes Meme Sharp and Jared Wilson-Frame were named First National Bank Student-Athletes of the Week, announced Tuesday.
Sharp, a senior, earned a USA Diving national title last Wednesday as she triumphed in the 1-meter springboard event at the USA Diving Winter Nationals meet in Greensboro, N.C. A former ACC champion diver for the Panthers, Sharp scored 467.75 in the competition to earn the gold medal. She entered the finals in second place following the qualifying round and surpassed defending NCAA 1-meter champion Allison Gibson of Texas in a dramatic set of final dives that were "executed brilliantly" by Sharp, according to first-year Pitt diving coach Katie Hazelton. Sharp also placed 15th on 3-meter at the meet.
Wilson-Frame scored a game-high 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field in a 72-51 win over McNeese State Saturday at Petersen Events Center. The Hartford, Conn., native matched a season high with five 3-point field goals and added five rebounds for the Panthers. A 6-foot-five junior, Wilson-Frame leads the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game and had scored in double figures eight times.
Pitt swimming and diving will ring in the New Year with a meet at West Virginia Saturday, Jan. 6, in Morgantown, W.Va.
Pitt men's basketball is in action Tuesday, Dec. 19, against Delaware State at 7 p.m. at Petersen Events Center. Tickets are available online at PittsburghPanthers.com or by calling 1-800-643-PITT (7488).
