The New York University diving team traveled upstate to Troy, NY, on Saturday, Oct. 25, for competition against hosts Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), as well as SUNY Oneonta and Alfred State College.

This was a scheduled dual meet between RPI and Oneonta, with no team scoring for the divers from NYU and Alfred State.

Individually, the Violets placed divers in the top three for all four events. The NYU women swept the 1-meter and 3-meter dive events.

"This was a really fun weekend," said Diving Head Coach Todd Kolean. "We performed well and multiple divers hit, or came close to hitting, their marks for regional qualifying."

Team captain Meera Kasturi took first place in the one-meter dive, besting the field with a 278.55 score. Isabella Reyes took third, scoring 249.20.

Reyes took first in the three-meter dive, closing out her teammate Kasturi with a season-best 269.45 score. Katsuri took second with a 265.15 score. 

Kasturi secured a regional-qualifying score in both events, while Reyes qualified in the three-meter event. 

The men's diving team secured second and third in both dives on Saturday.

Nolan Jennings scored his best three-meter dive of the season (266.65), good for second place. Makai Harder took third (243.05), followed by William McAlpin (158.40) in fourth.

Harder beat out Jennings for second place in the one-meter dive with a 232.45 score. Jennings took third with a 228.45 dive, while McAlpin took fifth place with a 171.95 dive.

Alfred State's Conor Compton won the one-meter and three-meter dives.

The NYU divers return to action at the Phoenix Invitational, hosted by the University of Chicago, Nov. 21-23.
