    Divers in NCAAs
in both categories
By DAVE STEVENSON
Collegian Sports Writer
The Lions representing the men's
swimming and diving team at the
NCAA Championships was expanded
this weekend as two senior divers
placed high enough to move on.
Seniors Steve Zamborsky and Jeff
Eagles scored impressively on both
boards and, more importantly, high
enough on both to qualify for the nation
al championships with decisive perfor
mances Friday and Saturday at the
NCAA Prequalifying meet at Harvard's
Blogett Pool.
Coach Craig Brown, who was voted
Men's Diving Coach of the Year for the
Northeast region by his fellow coaches,
said he was pleased with the solid per
formance his divers were able to put in
throughout their list of 11 dives and
credited consistency as the key.
"I was real pumped that we got some
people in there and I thought we had a
real, real solid event," Brown said. "We
made a couple of small mistakes, but
the mistakes we made were the kind of
mistakes I can tolerate - they were
aggressive mistakes because the guys
were fired up and they were going after
it."

time under Brown that the Lions have
legitimately qualified a diver for nation
als. Last season, D.J. Hill competed at
NCAAs on the 3-meter board, but only
after Pitt diver John Sharkey was
forced to bow out of the competition
after failing his drug test.
On the 1-meter board Zamborsky
scored 473.70 points in his 11-dive reper
toire, enough to place him fourth among
the competition and push him into
NCAAs for the first time in his four
years at Penn State.
Eagles, who had disappointing execu
tion of his dives at Easterns, was able
to put together his most solid list of
dives all season, capturing first place
on the 3-meter board with a score of
517.35, ahead of Princeton's Kenny Lams
and Harvard's Chris Naverson.
"I was able to iron my mistakes out
and come back focused," Eagles said.
"It was a matter of doing one dive at a
time and remembering what I had to
do."
Freshman Chris Devine, who has
been the Lions most consistent diver
throughout the season, put together
strong performances on both boards but
was unable to put a solid, mistake-free
list together for this meet and came up
just short on both boards, placing fifth
on 1-meter and sixth on 3-meter.

"NOT ENOUGH STUDENTS TAKE ADVANTAGE of the
excellent opportunities they have through PENN STATE IN
DEPENDENT LEARNING. I work with University faculty to
transform Penn State courses to an independent-learning
format that can be taken any place, anytime.
"The faculty really put
a lot of work into their
courses—they only want the
very best going out with the
PENN STATE name on it. And
there are more than 230
courses to choose from.
Independent Learning is a
great service for Penn Staters.
"For instance, stu-
dents who enroll in a course
now would have six months to
complete it—which means
that they could work on it
over the summer, and on into
August.
"PENN
STATE INDE
PENDENT
LEARNING is an
excellent comple
ment to classroom
instruction."

vonSeelan qualifies
in NCAA diving meet
By DAVID PENCEK
Collegian Sports Writer
Senior diver Lara vonSeelen did not
want to see her diving career at Penn
State end without competing in the
NCAA Championships.
So this weekend vonSeelen scored
431.75 points on the 3-meter board at the
prequalifying meet at Harvard. The
total was good enough for second place
and a trip to Indianapolis for the NCAA
Championships, which begin Thursday.
She joins the 800-yard freestyle relay
team of Fran McDermid, Christy
Rourke, Janet Worobel and Heather
Nicholson, who will also be competing
at nationals.
"Lara did what she needed to do,"
Coach Craig Brown said. "She had
great finishes on her dives."
Amy Schmidt and Kristin Tressler
struggled this weekend. Schmidt, who
qualified for nationals last year, fin
ished 12th on 1-meter and fifth on 3-
meter. Tressler only competed on 3-
meter and finished 24th.
"I was a little surprised Amy didn't
do better," Brown said. "She just
couldn't get it on this weekend."

meter at the Eastern Women's Swim

ming League Championships, vonSee
len started the weekend by finishing
11th on 1-meter. Brown was disap
pointed with the team's performance on
1-meter.
During warm-ups for the 3-meter
Brown and vonSeelen were thinking of
changing her list of dives. They were
going to try a more conservative list,
but they decided to stick with her tough
er list of dives after her warm-ups didn't
go well.
"I didn't feel comfortable, and I was
doubting myself t when trying the new
list)," vonSeelen said. "It definitely paid
off."
She'll be sticking with that same list
in Indianapolis. Brown and vonSeelen's
goal for NCAAs is to get into the top 16.
To do that, Brown said she needs to fin
ish off her dives well.
"She's going to have a good time,"
Brown said. "She's got to get by the
tougher dives, and she'll do well."
VonSeelen will be more relaxed for
this meet, since there isn't as much
pressure on her. But the Garden City,
N.Y. native will be looking to make the
most of her opportunity.
"It's like a celebration meet for all the
hard work that's been done," vonSeelen
said. "I'm totally psyched to go."
