How This Works
The NCAA Zone D Diving Championship is one of five zone meets held across the nation this week. Divers compete in their respective zone meet to earn qualifying bids to the upcoming NCAA Championships. The top five female and top four male divers from EACH event at their respective zone diving meet will be eligible to compete at the NCAA Championships. Additional place finishers in each event at each zone will be eligible based on the number of student-athletes from that zone who finished in the top 16 in that event at the previous year's contested or completed NCAA Championships. All eligible divers must have achieved the zone qualifying score prior to the NCAA Championships in all events they wish to participate.
