The University of Chicago diving teams capped a stellar weekend as hosts of the NCAA Diving Regional by capturing a pair of event championships on Saturday.

The Maroons were at home for the two-day regional inside the Myers-McLoraine Pool. A total of seven UChicago divers were pursuing qualifying spots for the NCAA Division III Championships in March.

After winning the women's three-meter dive the previous day, Veronica Fong made it a clean sweep with a one-meter title to go with it. The UChicago rookie scored 442.40 points to top the field of 34 competitors.

UChicago's Cynthia Tang took second place in the one-meter dive with 431.80 points. Fellow teammates Lauren Miller (366.10 points) and Nayna Pashilkar (363.15 points) grabbed 11th and 13th, respectively.

The men's three-meter dive included 32 total competitors. UChicago's Logan Sherwin drew ahead and stayed in front of the pack for the whole second half of dives, ultimately triumphing with a score of 487.90 points. The senior beat out the runner-up by 33 points.

Andrew Chen placed 10th with 429.15 points and Tim Sun was 19th with 401.55 points.
