Schultz earns Top 10 finish in NCAA Championship debut
Two Razorback freshmen competed on day two of the 2018 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two Razorback freshmen competed on day two of the 2018 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion on the campus of the Ohio State University.
Freshman diver Brooke Schultz competed in the one-meter springboard Thursday. After getting off to a slow start, the Fayetteville native picked it up to finish ninth in the prelims, just 0.35 points shy of qualifying for the finals with a score of 295.20. In the consolation round, Schultz scored a 311.80 to win the round and finish ninth overall in her NCAA debut.
Arkansas began the day with a 37th-place finish by freshman Peyton Palsha in the 500 freestyle. The St. Petersburg, Florida, native touched just shy of a personal-best 4:43.05, touching in 4:43.19 in her NCAA Championship debut. Palsha, the lone Razorback swimmer at the championships, will get back in the pool on Saturday for the 1650 freestyle.
Action will begin back on Friday for Arkansas as Schultz and fellow freshman diver Maha Amer will compete in the three-meter springboard trials beginning at 10:30 a.m. CT.
