Senior Becca Corbett won the 1-meter dive and took second in the 3-meter against Richmond. She again placed first and second, respectively, the following day against JMU.

In a weekend where diving was the sole focus, the Virginia diving team excelled at Richmond and James Madison.

In Richmond Friday, the Virginia women competed without their male counterparts. There, senior Becca Corbett led the charge winning the 1-meter dive, while sophomore Corey Johnson and freshman Kylie Towbin placed second and fourth, respectively. The Cavaliers also thrived in the 3-meter dive, with Corbett taking second and senior Katie Warburg taking third.

The following day in Harrisonburg, the Virginia men reunited with the women to win three events. Corbett followed up her strong performance in Richmond by again winning the 1-meter and placing second in the 3-meter. On the men’s side, senior Carl Buergler won the 3-meter and senior Colby Shinholser won the 1-meter.

For now, the Virginia swimming and diving teams have a break. The women will resume competition in Greensboro, N.C. Feb. 17-20 in the ACC Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, and the men will return to the water at the same location Feb. 24-27.
