Service Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Week: Grace Blume and Yoofi Abaka-Amuah

DURHAM, N.H. – Junior Grace Blume (Dedham, Mass.) of the University of New Hampshire women's swimming and diving team and senior Yoofi Abaka-Amuah (Worcester, Mass.) of the UNH men's track & field team were named the Service Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Week on Jan. 26.

Grace broke both UNH diving records to lead the Wildcats to a 167-118 victory against the University of Maine at the Stanley M. Wallace Pool on Jan. 23. She recorded a score of 301.80 points in the 1-meter dive to shatter the benchmark of 290.47 set in 2012 by Ellen Pelletier.

Grace finished with a school-record mark of 309.53 points in the 3-meter dive to shatter the previous mark of 288.45 set by Shana Dege in 2007.

Yoofi swept the shot put and weight throw events to lead UNH to a 101-54 dual meet victory against Bryant University at the Paul Sweet Oval on Jan. 24.

His winning mark of 20.93 meters (68 feet-8 inches) in the weight throw is the top mark by any America East competitor in the 2025-26 indoor season. Yoofi already had a first-place effort of 20.19m when he unleashed the winning distance of 20.93m on his last throw.

Yoofi's winning throw of 18.25m (59-10.5) in the shot put is also the best effort by anyone in America East this season. He recorded that top mark on the second of his six attempts.
