DIVING PREVIEW
In last year's ACC Championships, Pitt had three divers who scored points: Amy Read, Serena Buchwald and Dylan Reed. All three have had standout performances over the last month of meets.
Read shattered the platform diving record in the Backyard Brawl, earning first-place and scoring 289.65 points. She also has earned NCAA A cuts in the 1-meter (314.63) and a B cut in the 3-meter (335.55). Buchwald has the team's highest 1-meter score of 316.35 along with a top B cut score of 308.45 in the 3-meter.
Reed has been a consistent top-performer for the men with the squad's best scores in the 1-meter (350.70) and 3-meter (406.28). He has twice earned A cuts in the 3-meter and was less than a point from earning an A cut in the 1-meter.
WOMEN'S SWIMMING PREVIEW
The women have earned wins in the only two dual meets this year, defeating West Virginia 173-127 and Army 193-92.
Freshman Abby Grottle has made an immediate impact with the top-team times in four events this season: 200 Free (1:49.79), 500 Free (4:56.06), 1,000 Free (9:57.18) and 1,650 Free (16:40.16).
Grottle hasn't been the only freshman leading the way for the Panthers. Sophie Yendell, has the Panthers' best marks in the 50 Free (23.11) and 100 Fly (54.70), and Sophie Yendell has top times in the 50 Free (23.11) and 100 Fly (55.08).
