GRANVILLE, Ohio -- The NCAA has announced the list of participants for the 2025 NCAA Division III Diving Regional events, with six student-athletes from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) qualifying to compete at the Region I event on February 28 and March 1 at Denison Univeristy’s Trumbull Aquatics Center in Granville, Ohio.
Among the selected divers on the men’s side were Carleton’s Hans Anderson and Saint John’s Eli Grabinski and Cody Watts. Competing on the women’s side will be Gustavus’ Gabriella Stoudt and Carleton’s Nina Schwab and Hailey Westrup.
The action will begin on Friday with the men’s 3-meter at 2:00 p.m. local time, followed by the women’s 1-meter around 4:00 p.m. Competition will resume on Saturday with the men’s 1-meter at noon and conclude with the women’s 3-meter around 2:00 p.m.
To qualify for participation in a regional meet a diver must achieve the qualifying standard at least once at a bona fide conference championship or twice (on the same board) during at any other bona fide competition and submit appropriate documentation of qualifying performances to the diving coordinator.
The qualifiers for the National Championships will be determined by first-place finishers from each board, using two of the allocated spots. If the same person finishes first on both boards, only one allocation will be used for that athlete. Second-place finishers from each board will be selected, using two of the allocated spots. If the same person finishes second on both boards, or one/both of the athletes have already been selected, only one or no allocations will be used. This will continue with each finishing spot (third, fourth, fifth, etc.) until all the allocated spots have been assigned for each region. If there is one allocation left and two divers who have not been selected are up for qualification, finishing in the same ranking on each board, the committee will use the diver's combined score made up of their one-meter and three-meter scores. The competitor who has the highest score will be invited to the meet, earning the final allocation.
A total of 24 divers from the four NCAA regionals advance to the 2025 NCAA Division III Championship in Greensboro, N.C. from March 19-22.
