AUBURN, Ala. – Head diving coach John Fox and his crew head to Athens, Georgia, for the 2024 Zone B Diving Championships, March 10-13.
Action begins with the women's 1-meter springboard competition on Sunday, March 10 at 1 p.m. CT inside Gabrielson Natatorium. Fans unable to make it to Georgia can follow along at DiveMeets.com.
Only a limited number of spots in each discipline are available to qualify for both the women's and men's National Championships later this month. For the women, the top 10 in 1-meter, top eight in 3-meter and top seven in Platform will earn a ticket back to Athens.
For the men, the top seven in 1-meter, top seven on 3-meter and top 10 in Platform will get a trip to Indianapolis.
If a diver finishes 12th or better in any event, he or she also qualifies for the National Championships, provided that diver also made one of the top cuts in another event.
All seven of Fox's divers have qualified and will compete in their respective disciplines at the Zone B Championships and the Tigers are coming off an impressive run at the SEC Championships. Ashlynn Sullivan, Abigail Farrar, Kyleigh Kidd and Whit Andrus all posted career bests at SECs.
Adding to the impressive list of accolades, Talan Blackmon, Hunter Kebler, Kidd, Sullivan, Farrar, and Andrus each made their way into finals in their respective events throughout the week.
Sullivan took home the bronze medal in the Platform event, marking the first podium finish for the Orange and Blue since Alison Maillard in 2020.
