AUSTIN, Texas - In her NCAA Zone Meet debut, Saint Louis freshman diver Anna Larson (St. Charles, Mo./Francis Howell) finished 17th (470.15) on the three-meter board on day one of the Zone D Meet at Jamail Texas Swim Center in Austin, Texas.

The rookie moved on to the finals after placing 13th in the prelims with a score of 243.85. Last weekend at the A-10 Championships, Larson's three-meter score of 552.10 earned her the gold medal and established a new league standard.

Larson met the NCAA standard on both the one-and three-meter boards at the Western Illinois dual meet on Jan. 13. Her one-meter dive total was 276.10, a new school record, and her three-meter total was 292.70.

Tomorrow she will compete on the one-meter board, and she will wrap up the meet with the platform on Sunday.
