The Indiana University men’s and women’s diving teams earned four more spots at the NCAA Championships on Friday at the NCAA Zone C Championships in West Lafayette, Ind. With the four on Friday, the Hoosiers have earned a total of eight spots so far.
In the men’s 3-meter, James Connor, Andrew Capobianco and Mory Gould qualified for the Hoosiers, while in the women’s 1-meter, Jessica Parratto punched her ticket to the NCAA Championships.
The top-8 finishers in the men’s 3-meter and the top-9 finishers in the women’s 1-meter earned automatic berths to the NCAA Championships in those events. Once a diver posts an auto-qualifying finish in an event, he or she only has to be among the top 12 to earn the NCAA Championships berth in the other events.
For the second-straight day, Connor and Capobianco finished 1-2 in the men’s event. Connor won the 3-meter with a total of 843.55, while Capobianco took second with a score of 834.00. After earning an automatic berth in the 1-meter dive yesterday with his 11th place finish, Gould earned his place in the 3-meter at the NCAA Championships by finishing ninth overall with a total of 703.25.
After taking second place yesterday in the 3-meter dive, Parratto won the 1-meter dive on Friday with a score of 604.25.
On deck for tomorrow at the NCAA Zone C Championships in West Lafayette, Ind. will be the men’s and women’s platform dive. Both events are scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m. ET.
