By Matthew Barnard, Swimming World College Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

Diving at the 2017 women’s NCAA\u00a0Championships looks to be defined by Olympians, risk-takers and foreign student-athletes.<\/p>\n

For most divers, this year looks to be an individual game with the majority of high-scoring swimming teams lacking depth in the diving well. However, the heavily-favored Stanford Cardinal will get some points\u00a0on the boards, particularly with two time All-American\u00a0Kassidy Cook<\/strong> returning from an Olympic red-shirt year in which she finished\u00a013th on 3-meter in Rio.<\/p>\n

Cook’s freshman teammate Haley Farnsworth\u00a0<\/strong>could also be major contributor, but\u00a02016 NCAA platform champion Gracia Leydon-Mahoney\u00a0<\/strong>is notably absent from Stanford’s roster due to an injury.<\/p>\n

Along with Stanford, Purdue, Minnesota, Indiana, Texas, UCLA, South Carolina and Miami will all receive\u00a0major points from diving.<\/p>\n

Full List of Qualified Divers<\/a><\/p>\n

1-Meter<\/h2>\n

In an event which consistency is key, divers have become comfortable for a number of years by relying on\u00a0uniform and arguably simple dive lists. 2017 could be the year that this changes.<\/p>\n

A number of divers will be competing dives not often seen in women’s competitions. Missouri’s Lauren Ready\u00a0<\/strong>has turned heads for a number of years due to her high degree of difficulty and this year she is not disappointing competing two dives that few girls would attempt. Meghan O’Brien<\/strong> (Texas), Julia Vincent<\/strong> (South Carolina) and Olivia Rosendahl<\/strong> (Northwestern) also competed dives with high degree of difficulties at their respective NCAA zone qualification meets. If these three can get high scores on\u00a0these dives, they will be serious challengers for the national\u00a0title.<\/p>\n

2016 national champion Sharae Zheng<\/strong> (Nevada) returns to the 1-meter having won every diving event at the 2017 Mountain West Conference\u00a0Championships, and she will be joined by fellow Chinese born divers Yu Zhou<\/strong> (Minnesota) and Pei Lin<\/strong> (Miami-Ohio). All three of these girls will likely perform cleanly and consistently which could potentially keep Americans like Cook outside of the top three.<\/p>\n

Others\u00a0who could be considered contenders for medals include Sarah Bacon<\/strong> (Minnesota), Maria Polyakova<\/strong> (UCLA), Marcela Maric<\/strong> (Miami), Jessica Parratto<\/strong> (Indiana) and Anna Filipcic<\/strong> (Nebraska)<\/p>\n

Predictions:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Sharae Zheng, Nevada<\/li>\n
  2. Yu Zhou, Minnesota<\/li>\n
  3. Lauren Ready, Missouri<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3-Meter<\/h2>\n

    3 meter this year is nothing short of star studded with a number of highly-accomplished athletes who are all shooting to stand atop the podium. Cook and Jessica Parratto<\/strong> come off successful Olympic campaign for the U.S. and are joined by Olympians Elizabeth Cui<\/strong> (LSU, New Zealand) and Julia Vincent<\/strong> (South Carolina, South Africa).<\/p>\n

    Both 2016 champions Zheng and 2015 champion Zhou will be returning to make their push for their second 3-meter national title., and Junior World Championships runner up Polyakova is not to be underestimated this year having claimed the Pac-12 championship over Cook. Finally, Lin\u00a0has been\u00a0a consistent performer over the last three years, having not lost a 3-meter competition during her collegiate career outside of the NCAA championships.<\/p>\n

    With such a high number of world class competitors in 3-meter this year, the national champion will most likely beat out the runner-up by a very small margin, so\u00a0back and reverse dives\u2014which can often be inconsistent for many competitors because of they involve blind entries\u2014will be crucial for all these women.<\/p>\n

    Predictions:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Kassidy Cook, Stanford<\/li>\n
    2. Pei Lin, Miami-Ohio<\/li>\n
    3. Maria Polyakova, UCLA<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Platform<\/h2>\n

      This year, the platform event is all about one athlete: Parratto. She\u00a0who won the event in 2015 and now returns after an Olympic redshirt year as the one-to-beat in Indianapolis. Not only does Parratto come into the event with a wealth of experience and results to her name, she also should be comfortable in the IUPUI Natatorium, where she spent a number of years training with the USA Diving’s National Training Center.<\/p>\n

      The Australian duo of\u00a0Emily Meaney<\/strong> (Purdue) and Lara Tarvit<\/strong> (Ohio State) have both had strong showings in the past and if they can maintain their composure throughout their lists can find themselves in the medals. Along with Tarvit, Meaney and Parratto, the B1G Conference will be well represented with a number of strong tower specialists in Lexi Tenenbaum<\/strong> (Minnesota), Calli Head<\/strong> (Iowa),\u00a0Abigail Knapton<\/strong> (Nebraska) and Olivia Rosendahl<\/strong> (Northwestern).<\/p>\n

      Rachel Rubadue<\/strong> (Tennessee), Eloise Belanger<\/b>\u00a0(UCLA), Alais Kalonji<\/strong> (Texas A&M), Molly Carlson<\/strong> (FSU) and Mara Aiacoboae<\/strong> (ASU) are all divers to look out for\u00a0on platform.<\/p>\n

      Predictions:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Jessica Parratto (Indiana)<\/li>\n
      2. Olivia Rosendahl (Northwestern)<\/li>\n
      3. Emily Meaney (Purdue)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
