SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah diving team will be hosting the first ever Utah Diving Invitational this weekend, Dec. 1-2, at the Ute Natatorium. The meet on Friday is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. MT, with competition on Saturday beginning at 4:00 p.m. MT.
"We are thrilled to be hosting our first ever diving invite here at Utah," said Utah head diving coach
Richard Marschner. "We are hoping to get some fans out to check us out and support us so the environment will be a fan friendly atmosphere. The format is going to allow for some exciting diving to take place and diving at night in a finals format always seems to up the level of competition. We have some great teams coming to join us and this meet gives us another opportunity to dive against some really solid competition before we have about a month break from competition."

There will be four teams competing this weekend. Along with Utah, other teams competing include USC, BYU, and Air Force.
