Makarewicz finishes eighth in three-meter
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Utah diver Nathan Makarewicz finished eighth overall in the one meter at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships this evening at Northern Arizona University.
Â
"Nathan gave it all he had today and I am proud of his performance and his season," coach Richard Marschner said. "The results this evening were not exactly what we were looking for, but I know the team put in all the hard work needed to succeed. Sometimes it just is not your day."
Â
Makarewicz, who placed third at the Pac-12 Championships, turned in a score of 332.95 in tonight's finals but it was not enough to move him up in the standings after starting in eighth after the prelims. Freshman Jenner Pennock placed 19th with a score of 268.55
Â
On the women's side, Clare Greenlow (247.40) and Emma Ruchala (239.25) both competed in the three meter, but were unable to reach the finals.
Â
"I want to reiterate how proud I am of these student-athletes because they need to be commended for their seasons. We still have one more event tomorrow with Jenner, Daniel and Nicole competing so it should a fun closure to the meet."
Â
NCAA Zones conclude tomorrow with both the men's and women's platform events. Women's prelims are set to begin at 11 a.m. with finals at 1:35 p.m. The men will begin at 3:50 p.m. and finals will begin at 5:35 p.m.Â
