COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou freshman diver Ike Khamis (Richmond, Ind.) was named the Southeastern Conference Men's Freshman of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. It marked the first conference honor of Khamis' career.

In a dual against Louisville last week, Khamis won his first career event title as he earned top honors on platform. The freshman recorded a career-high six-round score of 363.68 points, a total that also moved him up to fifth in Mizzou's all-time record book.

Khamis owns season-best scores of 310.95 on 1-meter, 354.80 on 3-meter and now 363.68 on platform in his freshman season. He also finished fourth on platform at the prestigious Georgia Diving Invitational the first week of January.

The men's and women's swimming and diving teams have a pair of meets this week. On Friday, Jan. 18 the Tigers travel to Springfield, Mo., to face Drury, with diving scheduled for 2 p.m. and swimming for 4 p.m. Missouri then returns home to host Missouri State on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 2 p.m. at the Mizzou Aquatic Center.
