IOWA CITY, Iowa — A current and former University of Iowa diver — Veronica Rydze and Deidre Freeman — will compete in the AT&T USA Diving National Championships today through Sunday (Aug. 9-14) at the Spieker Aquatics Center at UCLA in Los Angeles.
Rydze, a rising senior for the Hawkeyes, will compete in the 1-meter springboard and the 3-meter synchronized springboard along with Freeman. Freeman, who graduated from Iowa this past May, will also dive individually in the 1-meter and 3-meter events.
