Freshman ends season on high note at Zone D

This past weekend, freshman diver Jenny Roberts wrapped up the 2004-2005 diving season with a strong finish.

Roberts was the only member of the Kansas diving team to compete in the NCAA Zone D regional diving meet.

Coming off a back injury during her senior year of high school, last Saturday was Roberts’ first attempt at Championship diving. She completed six dives in the one-meter diving competition and finished 17th..

Coach Eric Elliot said that there were a couple of dives on which Roberts “missed a bit.”

Before the start of the meet, Roberts said that she most wanted to come out of the meet with experience, and Elliot believes that is exactly what she has now.

Roberts was in ninth place after completing the first three dives but slipped down to 17th after poor performances on the next two dives.

Elliot said that Roberts’ goal was to place, which she did.

“Eighteen is the cut,” Elliot said, “and she made the cut.”

Although diving is over until next fall, Roberts has finished with experience that should set her up to be a leader on the team next season.
