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.

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.
