INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Notre Dame dive team attended its annual fall invitational this week, this time heading just south to the IUPUI House of Champions Invite. The No. 10 Irish men won the team event, while the women finished third.
Grace Courtney has been a consistent top dual meet performer this year, and she now owns cuts for Zones in all three NCAA events. She won the 1-meter (300.25) and finished second in the 3-meter (293.30). Courtney won the prelim of the platform event with a PR of 279.90 but was held out of the final due to a wrist injury.
Claire Feick earned her first cut for Zones this year, finishing fourth in the 3-meter with a score of 281.05. Katy Raby notched a third-place finish on the platform (252.80) and is also Zones-bound in the event. It was a personal best score for the freshman.
On the men’s side, Notre Dame started off with a 1-2-3 finish in the 1-meter event. Ben Nguyen brought home the gold (352.65), Daniel Knapp took silver (351.90), and Carlo Lopez-Hernandez took bronze (341.55).
On the platform, Nguyen broke the school record in the morning but Lopez-Hernandez took it back at night with a score of 376.00. He won the event, and Nguyen finished second.
Knapp, an NCAA qualifier last season, now has cuts for Zones in the 1-meter and 3-meter. He won the 3-meter this weekend (386.45). Lopez-Hernandez and Nguyen have cuts for all three events.
