RESULTS
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Marshall freshman diver Kailee Payne took part in the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships this week in Annapolis.
The Ithaca, N.Y. native finished 69th overall over the three-day meet with a score of 201.95.
Her individual dive scores were as follows:
Back 1.5 Somersault Pike: 34.5 (2.3 degree of difficulty)
Back 1.5 Somersault 0.5 Twist Free: 34.65 (2.1)
Forward 2.5 Somersault Tuck: 30.0 (2.4)
Reverse 1.5 Somersault Pike: 31.2 (2.4)
Forward 1.5 Somersault 1 Twist Free: 30.8 (2.2)
Inward 1.5 Somersault Pike: 40.8 (2.4)
Marshall Diving Coach Megan Siford
"As one of 79 divers, Kailee definitely made her mark at Zones! She executed all six of her dives, despite having to wait almost 45 minutes between each one. Such long gaps in time, not to mention the fierceness of the competition, can be a challenge for many divers. However, with nerves of steel, Kailee did an exceptional job maintaining her composure, focus, and poise. As this team moves toward the future, only greatness can be seen on the horizon!"
