FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – NM State's Italia Aranzabal led the way for the Aggies on Day Two of the Lumberjack Diving Event as she earned a 15^th-place finish in the 1-meter event.
 
Aranzabal found herself locked into 12^th place after earning a total score of 259.55 in the morning prelims. Meanwhile, freshman Casey Schmidt recorded the next best score for the Aggie squad as she posted a 215.50 to finish prelims in 26^th position. Kate Malinowski and Erin Orn were also closely behind Schmidt as they claimed 27^th and 29^th, respectively.
 
Eventually, Aranzabal would finish in 15^th place after the finals competition. She compiled 519.05 points to finish as one of only 15 divers to eclipse 500 total points in the event.
 
"I am very happy with today's consistency for all four girls," diving coach Miranda King said following the second day of the Lumberjack Invite. "The girls are focusing on what we are working day in and day out and the pieces are all starting to come together. Casey had her most consistent 3-meter list this season and she, Kate, and Casey all have one or two more dives to add back into their final list for conference. Italia again led the way with two solid lists between prelims and finals. Platform tomorrow will be a fun event for these girls to get in another platform list before conference. This will help with their confidence and consistency."
 
The podium look identical to Friday as San Diego State's Ximena Lechuga Gonzalez was the top diver for the second day in a row, finishing first at the 1-meter height with a final score of 659.15. She was followed by Northern Arizona's Victoria Knapp (646.85) while Valentina Lopez Arevalo took third (630.40).
