Holly Waxman makes her fourth appearance in four years
SALT LAKE CITY – For the fifth year straight, the University of Utah dive team will have four divers represent the Utes on the national stage, three of which will kick off the national appearances in the women's NCAA Championship beginning on Wednesday in Federal Way, Wash. at the Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center.
Marking their fifth year with four or more divers at NCAAs, senior Holly Waxman, junior Kathryn Grant, freshman Callie Eaglestone and junior Elias Petersen will be representing Utah on the big stage. The women's National Championships begins on Wednesday night, but Petersen won't report to Washington until March 26 for the men's side of the meet.
The NCAA Women's schedule is as follows:
"We set a really high bar last year being seventh in diving points scored and 25th overall as a team, and we're looking to replicate that this year," said head diving coach Richard Marschner. "Our training and our focus for the season has been getting to and performing at this meet and I think we're primed to excel."
Previously at NCAAs
"Of course, it's a very difficult meet and the margin for error is very small, so anything can happen," said Marschner. "But we are excited and optimistic about the opportunity in front of us to continue to assert Utah as one of the diving powerhouses in the country."
Looking Ahead
Next up on the docket, Elias Petersen will represent the Utes in Federal Way, Wash. for his third appearance at the NCAA Championships on March 26 through March 29.
