BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana University men's and women's diving teams earned four more spots at the NCAA Championships on Friday afternoon at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind.
After earning auto-bids in the 1-meter dive on Thursday, both James Connor and Michael Hixon made it 2-for-2 on Friday, as the duo also qualified for the 3-meter dive at the NCAA Championships.
Connor won the event with a tremendous, 12-dive score of 867.60, while Hixon was right behind him in second place with a total of 840.20.
Cody Coldren finished 10th overall with a score of 674.00. By finishing in the top-12 of both the 3-meter and 1-meter dives this week, if Coldren places in the top-seven of the platform dive, he will earn spots in all three events at the NCAA Championships.
After earning auto-bids to the NCAA Championships in the 3-meter dive on Thursday, both Jessica Parratto and Michal Bower had to finish in the top-12 in the 1-meter dive on Friday to earn their spots in the event at NCAA's next week and that's exactly what they did.
Parratto placed third overall on Friday with a score of 611.95, while Michal Bower took 11th to earn her place with a total of 539.30.
The NCAA Zone C Diving Championships will conclude on Saturday with the men's and women's platform dives. The action gets underway at 11:00 a.m. ET at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind.
