Troskey Places 19th in 3-Meter Event for Blue Hens


ANNAPOLIS, MD -- University of Delaware freshman David Troskey (William Penn/New Castle, DE) placed 19h in the three-meter diving event and 21st in the one-meter at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championship at the United States Naval Academy this weekend.

Troskey, who placed fourth in both events in leading the Blue Hens to their fourth straight America East team title in mid-February, placed 19th in the three-meter with a score of 340.95 points Friday night and was 21st in the one-meter with a score of 309.85 on Saturday.

Troskey was the lone Delaware diver for both the men's and women's team to compete at the NCAA qualifying meet.

Columbia's Mark Fichera won the men's one-meter title with a score of 529.30 while Penn State's Chris Alderman won the three-meter title with a score of 538.85. Fichera was second in the three meter while Alderman was second in the one-meter. Navy's Jonathan Schiffelbein won the Platform Diving competition. All three will advance to the NCAA championships later this month.

On the women's side, Pittsburgh's Jamie Tomazich won both the one-meter and three-meter competitions while Princeton's Danielle Stramandi won the Platform.
