AUBURN, Ala. — In the best opportunity of the fall to secure a spot at the 2026 NCAA Zone B Championships, the Auburn Diving program heads to Atlanta to compete at the Georgia Tech Diving Invite, Nov. 13-15, inside historic McAuley Aquatic Center.
Events are slated to begin on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 10 a.m. CT with the men’s 3-meter competition. The meet will be streamed live on the ACC Network Plus and live results will be available on Dive Meets.
Chloe Brothers, Maria Faoro, Emily Hallifax, Kyleigh Kidd, Juliette Landi, Talan Blackmon, Ethan Swart and Ben Wilson will all compete across the three days of diving.
Though Faora, Hallifax, Landi, Blackmon, Swart and Wilson have all earned zones cuts in the 1-meter and 3-meter events, the meet represents the first opportunity for all eight divers on the platform.
Head diving coach John Fox and Co. will also get familiarized with the McAuley Aquatic Center, with Georgia Tech hosting Zones, March 8-11, 2026.
It’s already been a successful season for the Tigers on the boards. Apart from six zones qualifiers thus far, sophomore Emily Hallifax also picked up SEC Diver of the Week for her performance at THE Dual Meet Tournament in Atlanta back in October.
In an abbreviated format, Hallifax had to make the most of her opportunities on the boards. The Olympian from France dialed up an impressive 154.20 on the 3-meter to earn the victory against Georgia and an even more enticing 154.20 on the 1-meter to capture the victory against Florida State.
