LEWISBURG, Pa. – Several members of the Army West Point women's diving team competed in the Bucknell Invite on Saturday afternoon. The Black Knights competed in both the one- and three-meter dives against schools such as Bucknell, Lafayette and Seton Hall, as a final tune-up before the Patriot League Championships.

COACHES CORNER
"This weekend at the Bucknell gave our divers a great test run for Patriot League Championships," said head diving coach, P.J. Hughes. "I was proud of how we placed against the other Patriot League teams. I was especially excited about plebe diver, Serica Hallstead, earning NCAA Zone Championship qualifying scores on both boards and for breaking the three-meter plebe record. We're looking forward to seeing how everyone's hard work and improvements will pay off at championships!"

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS
In the one-meter dive, Serica Hallstead won with a final score of 270.05, while Fiona Caulfield of Bucknell came in second with a mark of 232.20. Kathryn Seyer took fifth with a result of 205.75.

Hallstead shined again in the three-meter dive, where she broke the Plebe record with a score of 295.05. The freshman also earned NCAA Zone Championship qualifying scores for both marks.

Additionally, Seyer finished in second in the three-meter with a score of 224.05.
