Iowa divers Addison Boschult and Lydia Lehnert will compete in the AT&T National Diving Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, from Aug. 12-17.
Boschult’s fifth-place finish in the quarterfinals at the Zone A national preliminaries in Bethesda, Maryland, with a score of 304.50 on the platform, along with a sixth-place final finish at 319.05, earned him a berth.
Lehnert’s third-place finish in the quarters and second-place finish in the finals were also good enough to advance.
Former Hawkeye Deidre Freeman will also compete at the AT&T nationals in the 3-meter springboard and 3-meter synchronized diving events.
