Canale and Cutshaw have qualifying scores in all three events and both are coming off fantastic Big Ten Championships debuts; Cutshaw scored career bests in all three events and made the final on one-meter, while Canale set a school record on three-meter. VanderZwaag, a platform specialist, made her cut on tower. [ 2017-18 Diving Bests ]
NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS QUALIFYING PROCEDURES
The top five female and top four male divers from each event at their respective zone diving meet will be eligible to compete at the NCAA Championships. Additional place finishers in each event at each zone will be eligible based on the number of student-athletes from that zone who finished in the top 16 in that event at the previous year's NCAA Championships. All eligible divers must have achieved the zone qualifying score prior to the NCAA championships in all events they wish to participate.
For the women, in total, Zone C is allotted eight spots on one-meter and 10 spots on both three-meter and platform.
Any diver that qualifies for the NCAA Championships will be allowed to optionally enter any other event(s) at the championships, provided that the diver finished in the top 12 at the same zone meet and has achieved the zone qualifying score for that event prior to the NCAA Championships.
