Virginia Tech’s Izzi Mroz was the runner-up to Vittorioso and will also have all three events on her schedule at NCAAs, while the Harvard duo of Remi Edvalson and Elizabeth Miclau earned qualification as did Pitt’s Jess Vega.

The Pitt pair of Dylan Reed and Juan Osorio Mendoza also qualified for NCAAs by placing third and fifth, while Princeton’s Joseph Victor added the event to his NCAA lineup.

SIMPLIFIED INVITE PROCEDURES
You can read a more in-depth look at the selection process here.
Effectively, each zone earns a specific number of qualifying spots in each event, based on how that Zone performed at NCAAs last year. Divers who place inside the qualifying places earn an NCAA invite. A diver invited in one event can compete at NCAAs in any other diving event where they were top 12 in their Zone meet.
The highest-placing divers earn NCAA reimbursement, while lower-placing qualifiers can compete at NCAAs, but their school must pay for their travel and lodging at the meet.
