MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – All season long, sophomore
Kevin Pomeroy has led the way for Wisconsin's divers.
As usual, Pomeroy made an impact early and often at the NCAA Zone D Championships, which wrapped up Wednesday.
The sophomore standout qualified for the 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform finals. He finished 12th on platform with a total score of 641.70, and his total score of 685.50 on the 3-meter was good for 14th place.
Pomeroy had a great showing for a Wisconsin diving program that looks poised to take the next step.
The men's team had four divers compete in the 1-meter competition.
Andrew Pearce led the way in that event, finishing 11th in the prelims with a score of 277.60.
Pearce was joined by freshman
