SALT LAKE CITY - Utah diving will compete at the Zone E Championships with the goal of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Competition will begin tomorrow, March 6 and run through Wednesday, March 8 at the Douglas J. Wall Aquatic Center in Flagstaff, Ariz.
"We're looking forward to putting our best foot forward in this meet and hopefully getting some divers qualified for the NCAA national championships in a couple weeks," said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. "It is a very long and tough meet to compete at but we have an experienced squad going that should be able to perform well."
