ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Eight divers from the University of Michigan swimming and diving team will travel to Louisville, Ky., for the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships, Thursday through Saturday (March 14-16) at Ralph Wright Natatorium, looking to earn the right to compete at the NCAA Championships.
Notes
• Thursday (March 14) will feature the women's one-meter and men's three-meter dives starting at 1 p.m. The women will transition to the three-meter springboard while the men compete on the one-meter board on Friday (March 15) at 1 p.m. Platform diving will close out the meet on Saturday (march 16) with the women getting started at 11 a.m. and the men battling at 2 p.m.
• Both the men and women are vying for seven qualifying spots in the one-meter dive. In the three-meter dive, 10 spots are available for the men while 11 tickets will be punched for the women. The men will battle for eight bids in the platform dive, and the women will look to secure one of 11 spots.
• Three Michigan men will head to Louisville, including junior Cameron Gammage, who owns a top one-meter score of 380.85 which ranks eighth in the conference. He also posted zone qualifying marks in the three-meter and platform dives with scores of 385.95 and 313.95, respectively. Gammage earned a new season-best mark in the platform event last time out at the Big Ten Championships.
