Day Three Results
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A trio of University of Florida women's divers advanced to the finals on the last day of the 2020 NCAA Diving Zones at the Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga.
Elizabeth Perez, Brooke Madden and Ashley McCool all advanced to the last round of the platform dive after posting top-18 scores in the preliminaries on Wednesday afternoon.
Perez led the Florida's efforts on day three with an 11th-place overall finish with her total score of 481.75. She tallied her best score of the day in the finals with a mark of 243.30.
Madden would finish right behind her teammate in 12th-place with an overall score of 477.20. She would post a new season-best score in the prelims before besting that effort to claim a new season-high score of 239.75.
McCool, already claiming two automatic NCAA bids on Monday and Tuesday, missed her third qualification for the championships by 22 overall points. She finished 16th overall with a combined tally of 455.55.
Three more Gators competed in the event, with both Abigail Howell and Emma Whitner missing a finals qualification for the finals by less than 10 points.
Howell finished in 23rd with her prelim mark of 213.90, with Whitner finishing right behind her in 24th with a five-dive tally of 213.85.
Lauren Snider was the final Florida diver to compete, finishing in 35th with her score of 183.90.
Quotables
Head diving coach Bryan Gillooly- "Although our results today were disappointing, our performances were far from that. These women fought to the very last dive and showed great class and character. They were excellent examples of what it means to be a Florida Gator. Brooke Madden closed out her career in style and can be very proud of her four years here, as am I. She put Gator Diving back on the map. We now look forward to supporting Ashley at NCAAs on springboard."
NCAA Bids
Ashley McCool- 1-meter and 3-meter
What's Next
McCool will join 12 other Gator swimmers at the 2020 NCAA Championship next week right back at the Gabrielsen Natatorium.
The championships will take place on March 18-21, 2020 with 21 total events through four days.
