FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (March 9, 2022) - The Lumberjacks closed out the 2021-22 season in platform prelims at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships in Flagstaff.
"I think in general we all were really solid. One meter was the toughest event, you couldn't miss even a little bit, but I think we still held our own," Head Diving Coach Nikki Kelsey said. "Three meter was even better, we really could have had a couple people in the finals but we were still really close to that and that's exciting for us.
With three divers competing in prelims, the 'Jacks placed 22nd, 24th, and 29th, unfortunately just missing moving on the platform finals.
Junior Emily Luberto placed 22nd with a final score of 206.65. She was followed by Freshman Makenna Sammons who placed 24th with a score of 199.75. Reaney Preston placed 29th with a final score of 184.35.
"Our platform divers did a wonderful job as well, it was a great experience. Overall we held our own and did a great job, now we're getting excited for next year," Kelsey said.
With the end of the NCAA Zone Diving Championships, the NAU Swimming and Diving team has officially concluded their championship season. To stay up to date with the team, follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
