Divers from 19 different schools will look to earn a bid to the NCAA Championships, to be held from March 24-27.

NCAA Zone D includes schools from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota.

The top-five women and top-four men in each event move on to dive at the championships in Atlanta.

Additional divers from each zone are eligible to qualify for the NCAA Championships based on the number of divers from that zone that finished top 16 at NCAAs a year ago.

In Zone D, there will be six qualifiers in the 1-meter event for the women, and seven for the men. There will be nine qualifiers in the 3-meter for the women, and seven for the men, and on the platform, there will be nine qualifiers on the women’s side and eight for the men.

The Hawkeyes will travel to College Station with nine divers set to compete.

Freshman Will Brenner, junior Brandis Heffner, seniors Addison Boschult and Andrew Hull, and sophomore Evan Hull will compete on the men’s side.

Sophomore Morgan Rafferty, freshman Jacintha Thomas, and juniors Cali Head and Lydia Lehnert will compete for the women.

Boschult finished sixth at the Big Ten Championships in the platform competition with a score of 350.45. Hull finished 14th with 320.25 points.

Boschult also finished seventh in the 3-meter springboard with 359.25 points, and Brenner was Iowa’s top finisher in the 1-meter, placing 11th.

On the women’s side, Head had a successful Big Ten Championship performance, finishing in third place on the platform with 312.20 points, tying Lehnert’s school record.
