Pesek and senior Kerstein Haffner both qualified for the NCAA Diving Championships by performing well at the SWC Championsips in Austin. Haffner finished second in the one meter diving event and Pesek finished third. Junior Hanneke Faber finished ninth in the one meter, but was still in the running for the NCAA Championships. Faber, one of UH's best divers, had a chance to qualify by competing in the Zone Diving Regional at SMU, but didn't. In the three-meter event, Pesek took fourth place. Faber placed sixth and Haffner placed eighth. All three competed at the Regionals to qualify for the Championships in the three- meter. Pesek and Haffner went all the way to the NCAA Championships. Haffner excelled at the finals in the one meter event and placed sixth in the finals. Although Pesek placed 21st in the one meter, she shined in the 10 meter platform diving. She finished with a third-place ranking. Pesek was named All-American last year by finishing sixth at the NCAA's, and was honored again this year. Haffner also made Ail-American status from her performance. Faber was named to the SWC All- Academic team. -R.
