Phoenix Divers Finish Strong at NCAA Zones

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Green Bay divers Daniel Pogue (Chisholm, Minn.), Lauren McGraw (Woodbury, Minn.) and Kayla Deters (Sauk Rapids, Minn.) wrapped up their participation at the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships on Saturday at the Texas A&M University Student Rec Natatorium.

On the men's 1-meter board, Pogue turned in a 14th-place finish out of 25 competitors with a score of 530.05. The sophomore became the first diver in Green Bay history - male or female - to make the finals in both the 1-meter and 3-meter events at an NCAA Zone meet. Pogue placed 16th in the 3-meter on Friday (578.60), which was the highest finish for a Phoenix diver in the event at a Zone competition.

McGraw finished her Green Bay career by placing 30th of 40 divers on the 3-meter board with a score of 233.40, improving upon her 31st-place finish in the event a year ago. The senior's score was good for her best six-dive total for any of the three Zone meets in which she competed throughout her career.

"I am so happy to have Lauren finish well in her final competition for us," Phoenix diving coach Tom Stover said. "We had some issues with our travel to this meet because of poor weather, so the divers had only a few hours of sleep before their first day of competition down here. Under those circumstances, I think that made it difficult for them to get comfortable and be able to put together their best performances. However, I know they gave it their best and I am pleased with how things turned out."

Deters wrapped up her junior season with a 35th-place showing on the 3-meter board, accumulating a score of 219.45.

Green Bay junior Wilson Robinson (Hibbing, Minn.) also earned a berth to the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships by virtue of his score at the 2010 Horizon League Championships last month in Chicago. Due to weather-related travel complications, Robinson was unable to make the trip.
