FLAGSTAFF, Ariz (February 6, 2022) - After three full days of diving, the 'Jacks ended their Lumberjack Diving Invite after concluding platforms Sunday.
Emily Luberto placed eighth in prelims with a score of 212.95, before deciding to rest for finals, as she has already qualified for NCAA zones.

Following close behind was Reaney Preston who placed seventh with a final score of 449.00. The three all put up NCAA Zone Qualifying scores on the platform boards to finish out the invite.
"I think our group did great on platform, I don't think we're a true platform team but what we are doing up there we're doing very well. When they're consistent they can make those qualifying scores and I'm very pleased with a little fine tuning here and there, I think we'll be ready for conference," Head Diving Coach Nikki Kelsey said.
