SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah diving team will travel to Los Angeles this weekend for the UCLA Diving Invitational, Jan. 13-15. The meet will begin each day at 11:30 a.m. MT.
"The UCLA Invite meet is a great preparatory meet for Pac-12's and Zones," said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. "It gives us the opportunity to compete in a format that is similar to those meets as opposed to the dual meet format. The competition will be great across the board for everyone and we'll have an opportunity to see where we stand against a couple great Pac-12 diving schools in addition to some other teams from our zone."

There will be nine teams competing this weekend. Along with Utah, other competing teams include San Diego State, New Mexico, USC, host UCLA, California, Cal State, Azusa Pacific and Cal Poly.
