COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri Swim and Dive program will send four divers to Houston, Texas next week for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. The first session from inside the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Natatorium begins on Monday, March 11 at 11:45 a.m., and action will be streaming on UHCougars.com.

Sophomore Collier Dyer and freshman Tommaso Zanella will represent Missouri on the men’s side. Dyer is set to compete in all three events, while Zannella features in Wednesday’s platform dive competition. Representing the Tiger women is sophomore Kamryn Wong (all three events) and junior Catherine Rodocker (platform).
