Ortiz, Huth competing in national diving meet

Cowgirl divers Stephanie Ortiz and Emily Huth are competing at the Speedo USA Diving Spring National Championships in Coral Springs, Fla. On Sunday, both competed on three-meter springboard.

Ortiz scored 208.85 and placed 10th. That finish qualified Ortiz for the semifinals that will be later in the week. Huth did not manage to qualify, as she scored 182.80 and placed in 26th.

"It is a great accomplishment for Stephanie to qualify," said UW diving coach Ben Herdt. "She had an off day, but still was able to make it. Emily was in her first meet like this and was nervous and had an off day as well."

On Monday, the two Cowgirls will compete on one-meter. The top 17 spots will advance to the semifinals.
