The 1994 NCAA Women’s Diver of the Year, Robin Carter helped Texas to top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships in all four years as a Longhorn. One of only four Longhorn divers in program history to earn All-America honors in all four years, Carter won the NCAA three-meter diving title in 1994. She finished her UT career as an 11-time All-American (9 AA, 2 HM AA) and five-time Southwest Conference champion. Carter earned All-America honors in all three events as a freshman, when she placed fifth in the one-meter event, sixth in the platform event and eighth in the three-meter event at the 1992 NCAA Championships. As a sophomore, Carter earned All-America honors in the three-meter event (second place) and the platform event (seventh place) at the 1993 NCAA Championships. She became UT’s third national champion diver as a junior, when she claimed the three-meter title at the 1994 NCAA Championships. Her fifth-place finish in the one-meter event and 15th-place showing in the platform event cemented her selection as the NCAA Diver of the Year. She also was a member of the U.S. National Diving Team in 1994. Carter earned three more All-America honors and placed third in the one-meter event, eighth in the three-meter event and 10th in the platform event at the 1995 NCAA Championships. She finished her Texas career as a three-time team MVP (1992, 1994 and 1995). Carter earned a bachelor’s degree in nutrition in 1996 and a master’s degree in business administration in 2002. She currently lives in Sugar Land, Texas with her husband, Mark, and two children: Andrew (2) and Aaron (1). Carter is a senior brand manager for Coca-Cola North America and is a co-owner and manager of Windfern Business Park.
