NCAA Diving Championships Conclude for Carpenter
COLUMBUS, OH – The University at Buffalo’s Meili Carpenter (Boulder, CO/Fairview) concluded her three days at the 2008 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships with a 23rd-place finish in the platform diving competition on Saturday at Ohio State’s McCorkle Aquatic Pavillion. Carpenter scored a total of 193.50 points for her five dives on Saturday in the 23-diver event. The top 16 scorers moved on to the consolation and championships rounds on Saturday evening. Brittany Viola of Miami (FL) was the top point scorer in the platform preliminaries with 331.85 points. She became UB’s first women’s athlete to compete in the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships thanks to her victory in the platform competition at last weekend’s NCAA Zone A Championships held at Alumni Arena. The top five divers from the zone advanced to the national meet. She finished 27th of 40 divers in Thursday’s one-meter competition and 33rd of 38 entrants in Friday's three-meter event.
