DEARBORN, Mich. -- USA Diving has selected former University of Texas All-American Troy Dumais (1999-02) as its Athlete of the Year after the former seven-time NCAA champion turned in a tremendous diving season on the national and international stages.
Dumais teamed with Mitch Richeson to capture the three-meter synchronized diving title last month at the 2006 Kaiser Permanente USA Diving Championships in Indianapolis. In July, Dumais and Richeson claimed the silver medal in the three-meter synchronized event at the FINA World Cup in Changshu, China. Dumais also won the bronze medal in the three-meter springboard event at the FINA World Cup.
Dumais joined with Richeson to take silver in the three-meter synchronized event at the Speedo USA Diving Grand Prix and won bronze with Richeson in the same event at the China Open.
Dumais represented Team USA at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia and the 2004 Games in Athens, Greece. His seven NCAA titles make him the winningest male diver in the history of the Texas swimming and diving program.
