COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Freshman Ross Todd of the No. 7-ranked University of Michigan men's swimming and diving team was one of three finalists on platform to conclude the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships on Saturday (March 10) at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
Todd, who qualified for the NCAA Championships on Thursday, needed only a top-12 finish to add platform to his list. He looked sharp on Saturday, as he jumped three spots from preliminaries to finish sixth (709.70). He is the first Michigan men's diver to reach the NCAA Championships since Jason Coben in 2004.
Two others joined Todd in the final. Sophomore Jake Herremans took 12th (642.70) and ultimately finished one spot shy of qualification. Freshman Chris Canning was 16th (597.30).
The Wolverines conclude the season at the NCAA Championships, to be held March 21-24 at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Preliminaries will begin at 10 a.m. (CDT), with finals following at 6 p.m. each day.
