HUNTERSVILLE, NC – University of Iowa senior diver Nancilea Underwood placed second on the three-meter springboard at the 2005 U.S. National Senior Diving Championships in Huntersville, NC, last weekend.
Earlier in the competition, Underwood won the three-meter synchro title with Stanford junior Cassidy Krug. It was the first career title for both divers. Underwood also placed fourth on the one-meter springboard.
It has been a busy and successful summer for Underwood, who has been training with Krug at USA Diving’s national training center in Indianapolis, IN. The duo placed third on three-meter synchro in May at the Speedo/FINA Diving Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale, FL. In June, Underwood was one of two Americans invited to the FINA Grand Prix Superfinal in Veracruz, Mexico. In July, she earned a berth on the United States’ 2005 World Championships team. She placed 11th on three-meter at that event in Montreal last month.
