COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Mesa University junior diver Kenya Meyer is the 2024-25 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Player of the Year, leading a 16-member First Team Academic All-RMAC Team as selected by the league’s athletic communication directors.

The Bozeman, Montana product also repeats as a First Team Academic All-RMAC selection after entering the spring semester with a 3.87 grade-point average as an exercise science major at Colorado Mesa.

She was the 2024-25 RMAC Diver of the Year and the 2025 RMAC Championship Diver of the Meet. She won the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events at the championship, setting the championship record with a score of 541.70 in the 3-meter competition. Meyer earned First Team All-America honors with a seventh-place finish in the 3-meter competition. She also placed 17th in the 1-meter event after qualifying through the pre-championship event for the first time in her career.

The 16-member First Team Academic All-RMAC group included seven returning selections.

In addition, the RMAC recognized 91 student-athletes, including the 16 Academic All-RMAC honorees, on its 2024-25 Women’s Swimming & Diving Academic Honor Roll.
The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.

Each institution’s athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league’s athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
