Cassidy Lynch

ANNAPOLIS, MD – University at Buffalo freshman Cassidy Lynch (Westminster, CO/Legacy) finished 11th overall in the three-meter competition of the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships concluded Friday at Lejeune Hall on the campus of the United States Naval Academy.

Lynch, the ECAC champion on both the three- and one-meter boards at last month, scored a total of 575.15 points for 12 total dives to place 11th in the 18-diver finals. In the opening round, Lynch tallied 274.95 points for six dives to stand 12th among 28 divers. The top 18 scorers from the opening round moved into the finals and attempted six additional dives. Lynch scored 300.20 points, which added to the preliminary score equaled his final mark.

Pittsburgh’s Jeremy Stultz won the competition with a total score of 676.60 points. Stultz was seventh after the opening round (308.40), but tallied the highest finals total (368.15) to easily outdistance Princeton’s Kent DeMond by nearly 40 points.

Four divers will represent Zone A at the NCAA Championships later this month. Four other regional championships are also being held this weekend to determine the field for the national meet.

Lynch will compete in the one-meter competition on Saturday.
