Who Qualified for the NCAA's

By , About.com Guide

NCAA Zone Diving Championships are the second step in the process toward a spot at the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships. Through their efforts at the zone meets, each of these divers has earned the right to compete at the championships in each of the three diving events - one-meter springboard, three-meter springboard, and platform, provided that they competed in that event at the zone championships.
