EVANSTON, Ill. -- Freshman diver Leanne Dumais (Ventura, Calif./Buena) will compete in the NCAA Diving Zone competition this weekend in Bloomington, Ind.
Nineteen schools will send 38 divers to the Zone meet, with 11 advancing to the NCAA Championships March 18-20 in College Station, Texas.
"All the swimmers and staff are thrilled with Leanne going to zones," NU coach Jimmy Tierney said. "She has already done a tremendous job for our team, scoring more points in the Big Ten than we have ever had in the program's history. Whatever she does this week will be outstanding for her and for our team."
Competition begins today with the 1-meter event. The 3-meter board takes place Saturday and the meet concludes Sunday, March 14, with the platform.
