Razorbacks jump into CSCAA poll at No. 17
Fayetteville, Ark.- The Arkansas Razorback Swim and Dive team moved into the latest CSCAA coaches poll, checking in at No. 17 on Thursday.
The Razorbacks received 110 points in the December poll, which is good enough for their first ranking of the season. The team put together a solid showing during the fall semester. In the team’s first four meets, the Razorbacks broke four school records, while setting numerous personal bests. The divers took home nine top eight finishes at the Texas Invite and saw Brooke Schultz earn the win in the 1-meter dive. Schultz was impressive all fall, winning the SEC Diver of the Week award twice. The team also set itself up for postseason success earning over 20 NCAA ‘B’ Cut times and/or NCAA Zone qualifying scores.
The Razorbacks return to the pool on January 15th, hosting the Arkansas Diving Invite.

“I am very excited that the committee recognized the quality and success our team achieved this fall. Our entire team did an amazing job of staying safe, healthy and trained with a focus to achieve our goals. We broke four school records, had six Olympic Trial cuts and recorded over 50 lifetime best times. The divers had nine top eight finishes at the Texas Invite and an event champion. The team also achieved over 20 NCAA B cuts or NCAA Zone qualifying scores. I am very thankful that our athletic department had strict protocols and testing that allowed us to practice, travel and compete safely and therefore maximize our student-athletes opportunities this Fall. We have been focusing on final exams all week and looking forward to academic success that we prioritize just as highly as the success we have in the pool.”
