Wendy Lucero Schayes

Wendy Lucero-Schayes (born June 26, 1963) is an American former Olympic diver.

A native of Denver, CO who attended Southern Illinois University, Lucero's aim was to compete in gymnastics, figure skating and diving. However, she started her gymnastics and figure skating at a more advanced age than would allow her to compete at the elite level, so she focused on diving. Her father Don Lucero was the son of Spanish immigrants and her mother was of Irish descent.

She competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics. She has won nine U.S. springboard titles, three U.S. Olympic Festival titles, and a World Championship silver medal. She was named Diver of the Year in 1990 and 1991.

Lucero has worked as a sports broadcaster for ESPN, NBC and ABC. She is a member of the Colorado Sportswoman Hall of Fame. She is married to former NBA player Danny Schayes and is the daughter-in-law of Basketball Hall of Fame player Dolph Schayes.
