USC’s Nike Agunbiade, George Korovin, Shangfei Wang Punch Tickets To NCAA Diving Championships
March 07, 2022 | Men's Swimming & Diving, Women's Swimming & Diving
USC juniors Nike Agunbiade and George Korovin, along with freshman phenom Shangfei Wang, punched their tickets to the NCAA diving championships after impressive day one showings at the Zone E Diving Championships in Flagstaff, Ariz. on Monday (March 6).
Freshman Wang led the way for USC during the first day of competition in Arizona, finishing second on 3-meter with 832.95. With his finish, Wang earns his first career NCAA bid and will represent USC at the Championships in Atlanta, Georgia.
Joining Wang in the finals was All-American Korovin, who earned his third NCAA bid after finishing third on 3-meter with 780.75. Just last week, Korovin became the men's Pac-12 Champion, taking the event to pick up his first conference crown.
On women's 1-meter, it was Junior Agunbiade that punched her ticket, wrapping up the afternoon with 572.75 for third. With only seven spots up for grabs on 1-meter, Trojan Farrah Volpintesta (557.90) just missed the cut, finishing eighth, only .35 points behind Utah's Holly Waxman (558.25) who took seventh.
The three-day competition continues tomorrow, March 7, with opportunities for Trojans to earn invites to the dance on women's 3-meter and men's platform.
