Results Knoxville, Tenn. – Samantha Vear and Tazman Abramowicz qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in an additional event on Tuesday at the NCAA Zone B Championships. Vear finished sixth in the women’s 3-meter competition and will dive both springboard events at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships from March 15-18 back at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center. Abramowicz finished fifth on platform and will add that to his list in Minneapolis, Minn., from March 22-25. After qualifying for the NCAA Championships on 1-meter on Monday, Vear advanced to the women’s 3-meter final after scoring 325.00 in prelims for fifth place. Needing only to finish within the top 12 to add 3-meter to her NCAA list, Vear added 327.95 to her tally in finals, scoring 652.95 for sixth place. Despite performing all 12 of his dives from the 5-meter or 7.5-meter platforms, Abramowicz received marks of 6.0 or higher on every dive. He led the Seminoles out of prelims with a score of 362.35 in fifth. In finals, he held his place, finishing with a total of 709.55. “It was great to see Sammy and Taz add to their NCAA list,” FSU head diving coach John Proctor said. “Sammy was on her game and was in control the entire time. It’s been really fun watching her compete. Taz was just awesome. He didn’t really have a miss. Our zone is loaded with talent and he went out there and had another great day.” In addition to Abramowicz, Jesco Helling, David Vargas, Darwin Nolasco all competed in the men’s platform final. Helling scored 10 dives at 5.5 or higher, including his reverse 2 ½ somersault tuck from 7-meter that scored marks of 8.0-8.5. Helling made it out of prelims in 12th place at 336.80 and added 348.90 in finals, holding on to 12th place. Vargas got off to a strong start in prelims, scoring 354.10 as five of his six dives received marks of 5.5 or higher. Vargas finished in 13th place, scoring 670.90. Nolasco scored 11 of his 12 dives at 5.0 or higher. He finished 15th in prelims, scoring 319.65, and held on to that spot in finals at 655.15 after adding 335.50 for the round. “It was great getting four guys into that final,” Proctor said. “Jesco had some great dives and he really fought for it today. For David, I think this was one of the best meets he put together. He does such a tough list and he was in the mix today. Darwin also had a solid day. I think each of these guys has something they can take away from this meet.” Vivian Johnson returned to the lineup and finished in 25th place in the women’s 3-meter, scoring 267.35 ahead of Isabel Gregersen in 35th at 241.15. “It was great to see Vivian get back out there,” Proctor added. “She had some really great dives today. For Izzy, she is focused on tower. Today for her was just about getting an event under her belt and tomorrow, she will be ready to go.” Women’s platform will begin at 11 a.m. The top 18 will advance to finals, where the top six will move on to NCAAs.
