ATHENS, Ga. – For the second consecutive day, redshirt senior Kayleigh Clark qualified for the NCAA Championships as the No.13/NR Florida State swimming and diving team continued competition at the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships in Athens, Georgia, on Monday.
Clark added an NCAA berth on 3-meter with a 10th-place finish on Monday with a score of 617.60, a day after she secured her first NCAA qualification on 1-meter on Sunday. She advanced to the finals after placing seventh in prelims (315.50).
"It was another great day for a great Seminole, Kayleigh," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "I'm excited to see what she can do in her best event, platform, that is still left to go."
Clark will compete on 3-meter at nationals for the second time in her career after finishing 23rd (294.50) in 2025. She also placed 19th on platform (262.60) at last year's NCAA meet and will look to add that event to her lineup on Tuesday.
The top nine finishers in the women's 3-meter automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships, but divers who have already earned a spot in another event can earn an additional berth with a top-12 finish.
Sophomore Evelyn Hall finished 34th in the 3-meter prelims with a score of 193.90.
The Seminole men opened their competition Monday afternoon on 1-meter. Freshman Jack Sparks led the group with a 19th-place finish in prelims and a score of 314.45. Sophomore Hayden Schroeder followed in 21st (306.30), senior Jack Bessire placed 24th (295.95) and freshman Maxwell Shaver finished 25th (289.30).
The top 18 divers from prelims advanced to the finals round.
The meet continues Tuesday, March 10 with the women on platform at 11:15 a.m. ET and the men 3-meter at 2:40 p.m. The event will wrap up on Wednesday, March 11, with the men's platform beginning at 11:15 a.m.
Live results from Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium can be found at DiveMeets.com. All sessions of the meet will be streamed on ESPN+. Direct links and live updates can be found by following and connecting with the Seminoles on Twitter/X, Instagram and Facebook.
The Seminoles are represented by nine divers, five men and four women, competing across all four days.
