NORMAL, Ill. – Members of the Illinois State swimming and diving team are returning to action this week, competing at the NCAA Diving Zones and College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America National Invitational, with both events taking place March 8-10.
Caroline Lecoeur will compete at the NCAA Diving Zones in Zone C at the Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio. Four Redbird swimmers will travel to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. to compete at the CSCAA National Invite.
Morgan Clark, Molly Hill, Jensen Keck and Mary Katherine Tillotson will represent Illinois State at the CSCAA National Invite this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity for some of our athletes to be able to represent our team at this meet," said heading swimming coach Scott Cameron. "It's a great chance for us to compete against some of the best programs in the country and see how we stack up against them. It will be great to get our name out there on the national level while giving our swimmers a great experience."
Lecoeur qualified for the Zone Diving Championships against Northern Iowa on January 19, when she posted a score of 292.20 in the 1-meter dive.
"I am looking forward to seeing how Caro performs at the NCAA Zones meet, " said head diving coach Phil Hoffmann. "In this qualifying meet for NCAA's she will be tested in arguably the toughest zone in the country.
