Diving finals will take place at 9:30 a.m. Friday for Division II and 1:30 p.m. Friday for Division I. Tucson\u2019s Catalina Foothills High School is looking for another sweep of the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 team titles, though several Phoenix-area schools won\u2019t make it easy for the Falcons.<\/p>\n<p>In association with Play On Sports, Swimming World\u2019s Jeff Commings and Tiffany Elias will serve as on-air announcers for the meet. Elias will be calling all the girls\u2019 races, while Commings will do the same for the boys\u2019 meet. Both meets will be streamed <a href=http:\/\/www.nfhsnetwork.com\/>on NFHSNetwork.com<\/a> live. You can also download the NFHS Network app to watch the meet on your smartphone or tablet!<\/p>\n<p>Today, we highlight five athletes to watch at the Division II meet.<\/p>\n<h2>Brooks Fail, Catalina Foothills High School<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, Fail won the consolation final of the 200 freestyle as a freshman with a 1:50.54 and was fourth in the 500 free with a 4:52.10. What a difference a year makes. Now a sophomore, many are picking Fail to win both events this year, thanks in no small part to his dramatic time drops. He now boasts a lifetime best of 1:45.24 in the 200 free and 4:39.24 in the 500. Both times were done less than two months ago at the beginning of the season, so Fail is on track to challenge for the wins. Max Montour is the top contender in the 200 after placing second last year with a 1:42.34.<\/p>\n<h2>Hannah Holman, Shadow Mountain High School<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_113657\" style=\"width: 648px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hannah-holman-e1415228668483.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113657\" data-attachment-id=\"113657\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-athletes-watch-arizona-div-ii-high-school-swimming-diving-championships\/hannah-holman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hannah-holman-e1415228668483.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"638,573\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hannah-holman\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Hannah Holman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Hannah Holman\/Facebook&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hannah-holman-e1415228668483-638x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hannah-holman-e1415228668483.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hannah-holman-e1415228668483-638x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Hannah Holman\/Facebook\" width=\"638\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113657\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-113657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Hannah Holman\/Facebook<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nHolman won the 200 IM with a 2:06.13 last year and the 100 breast with a 1:05.81. Three months later, she set lifetime bests of 2:02.85 in the 200 IM and 1:03.74 in the 100 breast. How fast will she go this year? She might not need to swim as fast to win both events Saturday, but setting new lifetime bests in her final high school meet would be a fine transition to collegiate swimming at Tennessee.<\/p>\n<h2>Matt Lujan, Catalina Foothills High School<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_56741\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/LujanMatt-e1415229068648.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56741\" data-attachment-id=\"56741\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-athletes-watch-arizona-div-ii-high-school-swimming-diving-championships\/lujanmatt\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/LujanMatt-e1415229068648.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4596,2903\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Catherine Ladd&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX P510&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1403196800&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LujanMatt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Catherine Ladd&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/LujanMatt-e1415229068648-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/LujanMatt-e1415229068648-1024x646.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/LujanMatt-e1415229068648-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Catherine Ladd\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56741\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Catherine Ladd<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nLujan is also looking for the double win Saturday, hoping to repeat as 200 IM and 100 back champion. Lujan holds a lifetime best of 49.84, and will give the crowd a thrill if he can dip under the 50-second barrier this weekend. It won\u2019t come close to Alex Righi\u2019s state record of 48.00, but it will be one of the fastest performances in Arizona high school history, and a great way for Lujan to close out his high school swimming career before moving to the University of Arizona.<\/p>\n<h2>Taylor Nations, Sabino High School<\/h2>\n<p>Nations won the 100 back last year as a sophomore, and doesn\u2019t look to have any major challengers this year. She\u2019s also the top returner in the 100 freestyle, though sophomore Teagan McGinnis will give her a major race for the top podium spot.<\/p>\n<h2>Cody Rankin, Shadow Mountain High School<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_113659\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cody-rankin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113659\" data-attachment-id=\"113659\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-athletes-watch-arizona-div-ii-high-school-swimming-diving-championships\/cody-rankin\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cody-rankin.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"458,687\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cody-rankin\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Cody Rankin&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Matthew Rankin&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cody-rankin-458x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cody-rankin.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cody-rankin-458x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Matthew Rankin\" width=\"458\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-113659\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-113659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Matthew Rankin<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRankin scored the most points in 1-meter diving across all divisions last year, winning the Division II competition by 24 points.
