Her 1M score broke the program’s dual meet record, made her the third-ranked IU performer in the history of the event, and ranks as the fifth-best overall score in Indiana women’s diving history. Her 3M score ranks her as the team’s fifth-best performer in the event.
The diving program hit nine NCAA Standard scores on the weekend, including five NCAA ‘A’ Standard marks.
