SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The freshmen duo of Italia Aranzabal and Lily Ellis had another strong day at the pool on Wednesday in San Antonio with Aranzabal setting a school record and Ellis qualifying for zones. The Aggies scored against D-III Trinity.
 
"Yesterday we had the opportunity to add an additional dive meet," said diving coach Miranda King. "It was not a traditional competition as the divers picked only one board to compete. Both girls put together their most consistent list of the season on their respective boards. Both girls are continuing to improve throughout their training and it is paying off. Lily got a zones qualifying score on 1m and Italia broke our 3,m school record. It is exciting to see their improvements and this is a great way to end the fall semester. I'm excited to see how the girls continue to improve when they come back in the spring."
 
After qualifying for Zones on Monday, Aranzabal broke MacKinna Hauff's school record of 307.19 in the 3m with a 314.35. Then, Ellis qualified for NCAA Diving Zones in the 1m with a score of 285.95.
 
New Mexico State swimming and diving returns to the pool when it takes on CSU Pueblo on Saturday, Jan. 4, at 11:30 a.m. at the NM State Swimming and Diving Complex. As always, this meet is free for all fans to attend.
