Freshman Carlos Vargas became the second diver to punch their ticket to the NCAA Championships for the No. 19/RV Florida State swimming and diving team on the third day of the NCAA Zone Diving Championships in Auburn, Alabama, on Tuesday.

Vargas earned his first career NCAA berth on platform. He will be joined at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships by graduate student Samantha Vear, who qualified on 1-meter yesterday, along with six women’s swimmers who were selected last week. The men’s swimming qualifiers will be announced on Wednesday.

All seven FSU divers that competed on Tuesday advanced to the finals, as the women continued their meet on 3-meter and the men concluded their week on platform.

Vargas finished in sixth place in the platform final with 743.85 points. Fellow freshman Noah Turner was ninth with 701.25 points and Hayden Schroeder, also a first-year, was 13th with a score of 632.80.

The women were on 3-meter on their second day. Vear led the way with an eighth-place finish thanks to a score of 662.00. Redshirt junior Kayleigh Clark was close behind her in 10th with 632.75 points. Senior Isabel Gregersen finished 15th overall with a 585.70 and freshman Evelyn Hall was 17th with 566.25.

The top seven finishers on women’s 1-meter and the top six on men’s platform advanced to the NCAA Championships.

The meet will conclude on Wednesday, March 12, with women on platform at 12 p.m. ET. Live results from Auburn’s James E. Martin Aquatic Center can be found at DiveMeets.com.
