Both the women and men will take to the platform for the final day of action on Thursday. The women are set to start at 11 a.m., while the men will begin at 3:15. Finals will once again take place 15 minutes after the conclusions of prelims.
Over the three days of the event, all seven Minnesota student-athletes will attempt to secure their bids to the 2023 NCAA Championships on the 1-meter springboard, while six will have a chance on the 3-meter and five will compete on the platform.
