COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State men’s diver Lyle Yost has received his first Big Ten Conference honor for his outstanding performance in the Buckeye’s sweep over the Kentucky Wildcats. Yost, a freshman from Shaker Heights, Ohio was awarded the men’s B1G Diver of the Week, conference officials announced Wednesday.

His top finishes on the 1-meter springboard and the 3-meter springboard also gave him the highest point total among the male divers.
