Boston University Athletic Hall of Fame
The first male or female diver to be inducted into the BU Athletic Hall of Fame, Victor Paguia (‘05) is one of two student-athletes in conference history to claim all four America East Most Outstanding Diver (2002-05) awards. In total, the Lake Forest, Illinois, native won the one-meter title four times and the three-meter event three times. On the team front as a freshman, he also helped the Terriers win their first America East championship since 1994.
Besides excelling at the conference level, Paguia was named the ECAC Most Outstanding Diver in each of his final three seasons, and finished as high as eighth in the one-meter and 10th in the three-meter dives at the NCAA Diving Zones in 2003. Following graduation, Paguia went on to compete for the Philippine National Diving Team at the 2005 XI FINA World Championships in Montreal and at the Asian Cup. Transferring his athletic abilities to his professional career, Paguia went on to become a stunt coordinator in Hollywood, having worked on films such as "The Dark Knight Rises."
