Indiana head diving coach Dr. Jeff Huber has had a female represent the University in each of the past two Olympics with Sara Hildebrand competing in 2000 and 2004, while Cassandra Cardinell and Kimiko (Hirai) Soldati dove at the 2004 Games.
Nancilea Foster (1,002.85), Allison Brennan (994.15), Ariel Rittenhouse (978.65), Kelci Bryant (944.60) and Victoria Ishimatsu (933.60) make up the rest of the top six divers that will head to Knoxville, Tenn., for the final selection camp early next month. Loukas, while already a lock for the team, will still have to participate to prove her continued physical ability to compete in Beijing.
