CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – University of Northern Iowa senior divers Allie Bey and Sarah Kemp will compete in the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships, March 7-9 in College Station, TX.
Nearly 100 female and male divers will compete for a chance at the NCAA Championships. Competition will take place at the Student Recreation Natatorium on the Texas A&M campus. Admission is free to the meet.
Bey, a Forest Lake, Minn. native, and Kemp, an Ames native, competed in the Zone D Championships a year ago. Kemp competed in both the 1 and 3-meter dives, while Bey competed in the 1-meter dives. Both will competed in the 1 and 3-meter dives this year.
"Sarah Kemp and Allie Bey are really excited to be headed to the NCAA Zone D Championship meet this week," said diving coach Lori Meierbachtol. "They have both competed at this meet before, so this year they know what to expect. We know how hard it is and we know the caliber of diving there is going to be some of the best in the country."
GETTING TO THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
The top five female and top four male divers from each event at their respective zone diving meet will earn a spot at the NCAA Championships. Additional place finishers in each event at each zone will be eligible based on the number of divers from that zone that finished in the top 16 at the previous year's NCAA Championships.
