BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana University men’s and women’s diving teams will host the NCAA Zone Championships from Thursday to Saturday at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind.

Live results for the three-day event can be found at IUHoosiers.com. There are five zone meets spread across the country that allow divers to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Based on performances at the previous NCAA Championships, each zone earns a set number of qualifying spots.

“The Diving Zone Championships in the Big 10 is always one of the toughest meets of the year,” Indiana head diving coach Drew Johansen remarked. “We have limited spots this year and it will take a strong performance to advance to the NCAA Championships. We are happy to be home this week and the team is healthy and ready for a great week of competition.”
