3/16/2023 8:15:00 PM | Women's Swimming & Diving
MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota fifth-year senior Joy Zhu earned All-American honors Thursday at the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in Knoxville, Tenn.
Zhu finished in eighth place on the 1-meter springboard with a score of 297.35. It was an improvement of .20 from her score in the preliminaries, which had garnered her seventh place.
It's the first NCAA All-American honors for Zhu in her career, though she was a CSCAA All-American in 2020. With her eighth-place finish, Zhu extended the Golden Gophers' streak of six straight NCAA Championships with an All-American on the 1-meter.
Also on the 1-meter, junior Av Osero made her NCAA Championships debut when she placed 36th in the prelims with a score of 243.00.
In the swimming pool, junior Megan Van Berkom competed in the prelims of the 200 IM, finishing 35th with a time of 1:57.47.
As a team, Minnesota is in 23rd place with 11 points earned by Zhu. Virginia holds a first-place lead with 208.5 points, followed by Texas (162) and Louisville (117).
The Gophers are back in action Friday with Zhu, Osero and freshman Vivi Del Angel on the 3-meter springboard and Van Berkom taking part in the 400 IM. Prelims start at 9 a.m. CT.
