Senior Austin Howlett and freshman Mary Rose Donahue will be representing Colorado College Feb. 27-28 at the NCAA Diving Regionals in San Antonio, TX. The pair will compete against DIII competition in order to earn a berth to the NCAA DIII National Championships in Shenandoah, TX March 18-21. Unlike their swimming counterparts Howlett and Donahue are given an opportunity to compete at a regional competition before moving onto Nationals. If Howlett’s season-long dominance is any indication of how this weekend will pan out for the senior, he’s in for a bid to Nationals. Howlett went undefeated over the course of the season and set Colorado College records on both the 3-meter and 5-meter boards. The

Hawaii native and reigning SCAC Diver of the Year placed fifth last year at the NCAA DIII National Championships. Rose Donahue is coming off of a strong performance at the SCAC Championships in which she placed third on the 3-meter board with a score of 454.85. Both divers will be looking to make a late-season push for the Tigers, who despite a strong showing at the SCAC Championships, did not qualify any swimmers to compete at the DIII National competition. ​
