earned it twice.
Angeloff also enters with an impressive resume after she posted a
collegiate career high zone qualifying score of 298.95 in the dual
meet against Bowling Green (Jan. 19). The Zips top freshman of the
season, she posted a ninth place finish in the 1-meter (224.40) and
14th place on the 3-meter (232.30) springboard at the MAC
championships.
The meet this weekend is just one of five zone meets taking place
with divers at each meet vying for the chance to compete at their
respective 2008 NCAA championships. The 2008 NCAA Women's Swimming
and Diving Championships will be held March 20-22 at Ohio State's
McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
