Nebraska’s two most successful divers from the 2006-07 campaign will look to prolong their seasons this week as senior Danielle Stansbury and sophomore Courtney Jolly compete at the 2007 NCAA Zone D Diving Meet in Austin, Texas.
Diving for the Husker women will begin Friday, March 2 at 2:45 p.m., with three-meter diving. Saturday’s one-meter competition will start at Noon, while Sunday’s platform will end the three-day meet at 10 a.m.
Both divers are coming off a very successful conference meet when Stansbury placed as high as fourth on the three meter, while also qualifying for the finals on the platform (5th) and one meter (6th). Jolly made the finals of the one meter (7th) and platform (8th). During the regular season, Jolly led the Huskers with five wins in dual meets, while Stansbury had three.
The duo qualified for the zone diving meet on Oct. 28 in a 168-132 win at Arkansas, when Stansbury scored a 259.27 on the one meter and a 285.23 on the three meter. Jolly did the same in Arkansas, scoring a 284.18 on the three meter and then a 255.07 on the one meter against Kansas. By qualifying for the zone meet, each now has a chance to compete at the NCAA Championships March 8-10 in Minneapolis, Minn., along with Husker swimmer Lauren Bailey.

On Senior Day against Missouri, Stansbury scored a season- and team-high 289.73 on the three meter to place second.
Courtney Jolly won five diving competitions in 2006-07, and then went on to place seventh (one meter) and eighth (platform) at the Big 12 Championships. Her high score of 264.30 on the one meter against IowaState ranked first on the team during the regular season, an event where she had three of her five wins.

Qualification Criteria (from texassports.com): Below is the rank of criteria utilized to determine the qualifiers for the NCAA Championships; the criteria are utilized until seven men and seven women are selected. For example, in accordance to the listing below, if diver A wins the one-meter, three-meter and platform events, only one bid is taken by that diver, and six bids still remain available. If three divers win the platform, one-meter and three-meter events, three bids are awarded and four remain. Bids are not subtracted from a zone if one diver wins two or more events; the progression down the list of criteria continues until seven male divers and seven female divers are selected.
