Senior Mike Mosca continued his record-breaking senior season this week as he competed at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships in Buffalo, NY.
The last time out, Mosca swept the one-meter and three-meter contests at the Ivy League Championship meet. Though the team came in second, Mosca became the third diver in Ivy history to sweep both boards. He also became the first ever Ivy League diver to win the one-meter title all four years of competition.
In the Zone A Championships, Mosca competed in both the three-meter and one-meter events. He placed well enough to move on to the NCAA Championships in both events.
The senior had his strongest performance of the day in the three-meter dive, placing first. His dive in the preliminary round broke a pool record with a score of 424.20. In the final round of 18 divers, the New Jersey native had a combined score of 817.45.
Like he has for much of the past season, Mosca has been rewriting his own records. This week, he broke a record he set during his sophomore season for the highest score earned by a Crimson diver in NCAA competition.
In the one-meter, Mosca took fourth place to qualify for the NCAA Championships. He finished with a combined score of 642.15.
Freshman diver David Pfeifer also competed in the event, barely missing the cutoff for the final rounds of each event. Pfeifer finished 31st on the one-meter board and 21st on the three-meter.
The NCAA Championships will take place Mar. 25-28 in Iowa City, Iowa.
