Utah dive’s Elias Petersen to compete two springboard events
SALT LAKE CITY – Marking his third appearance at the Men's Swim and Dive NCAA Championship meet, Elias Petersen will represent the University of Utah swim and dive program on the one-meter and three-meter springboard events beginning on Thursday 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 took place March 19-March 22, and now it's Petersen's turn to report for the men's side, with the meet beginning March 26.
Petersen's schedule is as follows:
"We're looking to close out one of our all-time best seasons with a bang," said head dive coach Richard Marschner. "Elias has become a very steady and consistent diver and that should serve him well at NCAAs. He nearly broke through at last year's meet and I think he's primed to make a big impact this year."
