The University of Utah men’s diving team will take on Harvard this Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 12 p.m. in the Ute Natatorium.
“We’re really excited to be able to host the Harvard divers to kick off the second half of our season,” said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. “They frequently send a diver or two to NCAA’s and are one of the top teams in the east. We’re coming off of some really good training following the break and we should do some great things this semester.”
