The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition, as voted on by the UNLV communications department.
James won both diving events this past weekend in the Rebels' home dual meet with Wyoming. The senior's score of 333.40 on the 1-meter was both a new personal record and new school mark as well.
