The University of Kentucky men’s and women’s diving teams head to Auburn, Ala., for the NCAA Zone B qualifying meet and a chance to qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships to be held later this month.

For the men, senior Clayton Moss is attempting to make a fourth-straight NCAA Championship appearance. Moss has been selected to the 1-meter and platform All-America teams in each of the three previous championships and to the 3-meter team in 2000 and 2002. He has finished as high as second in the NCAA’s and a win this year would cap off a great senior season and UK career. On the women’s side, senior Kelli Frost, junior Michelle Brown and freshmen Jillian Becker and Jessica Thompson are all vying to reach their first NCAA Championship appearance.

The meet, being held at Auburn’s James E. Martin Aquatics Center, begins Friday, March 14, at 10 a.m. CT, and will run until Sunday, March 16.
