MIAMI (March 8, 2018) – FIU diving standout
Rebecca Quesnel (Burlington, Ontario) has qualified for NCAA Championships in platform diving with a second-place finish at the NCAA Zone B Qualifying Meet in Knoxville, Tennessee.
"I'm very happy for Rio (diving coach
Rio Ramirez) and all of the FIU Divers," said FIU swimming and diving Head Coach
Randy Horner. "Rio has built a diving program that is among the best in the NCAA. Becca (
Rebecca Quesnel) qualifying for her third-straight NCAA's is great accomplishment. She has developed into one of the top platform divers in the country."
Quesnel, the 2018 Conference USA Diver of the Meet following her performance in the C-USA Championships in February, advances to her third NCAA Championship after posting a score of 559.60 in the platform event. Quesnel earned FIU's first First-Team All-America honors, winning the Bronze Medal on the platform in the 2017 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships (302.35).
