SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah diving team will travel to Los Angeles this weekend for the UCLA Diving Invitational, Jan. 12-14. The meet will begin each day at 11:30 a.m. MT.
"This meet kicks of a very busy and exciting part of the season for us," said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. "We had a great training camp in Florida and this meet will be a great indicator of what we can expect at Pac12's and at our NCAA regional meet. I'm excited to see what our team can do for the final month and a half of the season leading up to Pac12's and then onto NCAAs."
