STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern sends a program-best three divers to the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships on Monday and Tuesday, March 5th and 6th, at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center in Knoxville, Tenn., hosted by the University of Tennessee.

Competing for the Eagles will be freshman Katie Knight, freshman Sara Rogers and sophomore Gretchen Mossburg. All three divers qualified for the NCAA Zone B with their performances during the 2018 CCSA Championships two weeks ago.

Rogers set the school record for the 1M at the Championships, scoring 302.15 and finishing third in the Championships. Mossburg scored a 280.25 and Knight scored a 270.10, ranking fourth and fifth all-time respectively on the Georgia Southern 1M dive chart.

The last Georgia Southern diver to advance to the NCAA Zone B Championships was Emma Weisel, who competed in 2014 and 2016. Sara Meisenhelder also competed for the Eagles in 2013.

All three divers will compete in both the 1M and 3M events. The 1M will take place on Monday, March 5th, with 41 total divers competing. The 3M will be on Tuesday, March 6th, with 40 divers competing.

Advancing out of the Zone B Championships will be a difficult task as divers will have to finish in the Top 7 in order to qualify for the 2018 NCAA Championships in Columbis, Ohio, on March 14-17.
