AUSTIN, Texas — Sophomore Brooke Schultz earned a second-place finish on the 3-meter Friday afternoon at the NCAA Swimming and Diving National Championships in her second Top 5 finish of the meet.

The Hogs opened the day with the 200 yard medley relay. Molly Moore, Sydney Angell, Kobie Melton, and Anna Hopkin earned a 27th place finish (1:39.10), recording the program’s third-fastest time of the season.

Schultz competed in Arkansas’ lone individual event of the day, earning an eighth-place finish (343.05) in the 3-meter preliminaries to advance to the finals. The Fayetteville, Ark. native took second in the finals with a score of 380.50.

“It was another great day for Brooke, Dale, and the Hogs,” coach Neil Harper said. “She battled hard this morning to make it to the finals and performed amazingly tonight to be the NCAA runner-up!”

Following Friday’s competition, the Razorbacks remain in 18th place with 46 points.

The championships will conclude tomorrow, with the mile, 100 yard freestyle, and the 400-yard freestyle relay on deck for the team.
