NAU Excels in Day One of Lumberjack Diving Invite

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (February 4, 2022) - Northern Arizona hosted day one of the Lumberjack Diving Invite, highlighting all seven of the 'Jacks divers advancing from prelims to finals on the 1-meter boards.

Victoria Knapp finished prelims at the top of all thirty divers competing, with a score of 287.95 and went on to place second in the finals with a score of 282.95, for a total of 570.95.

Makenna Sammons finished the day in fourth place with a score of 542.25, followed by Alyssa Jones in seventh place with a score of 522.10, and Reaney Preston in ninth place with a score of 517.55, all finishing in the top ten for the 'Jacks.

"To have all seven divers make the finals was huge, we were the only team that had everyone make the finals so that was great. All of them were really consistent, there was a couple dives here and there that were misses, but they fought back and I'm really happy with where we're at right now for the next few weeks," Head Diving Coach Nikki Kelsey said.

The Lumberjack Diving Invite will continue tomorrow at the Wall Aquatic Center, where NAU will host 3m dives. The 3m prelims will begin at 10:30 a.m. MST, followed by a fifteen minute break, and 3m finals.
