GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 12, 2014) – Senior diver
Sabrina Beaupre completed her FIU career with a strong showing at NCAA Zone B diving on Wednesday, missing out by one spot of earning a berth in the NCAA Championships in the platform dive.
"She dove like she is capable of," said diving coach
Rio Ramirez. "Having only one year of doing tower in her college career, she did very well. I am very proud of her."
Beaupre not only reached the finals of the platform dive, but she also made it to the zone finals in the one and three meter diving. She made it through the 1-meter Zone B preliminary stage on Monday to advance to the finals. The Quebec native posted a score of 265.65 to advance to the finals later that day. She followed that up with a 289.15 in the finals round. She also earned a spot in the 3-meter diving finals on Tuesday.
