TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State diver Jecza Lopez will take on the field at the NCAA Zone C Qualifiers this week as the sophomore heads to Columbus, Ohio, and the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion for the three-day event hosted by Ohio State.
 
Lopez is the third Sycamore diver to qualify for Zones in program history as the Guadalajara, Mexico native joins Zoe Smith (2023 & 2024) and Bailey Betzer (2024) who both competed at past Zone C Qualifiers.
 
Lopez, the 2025 Missouri Valley Conference Diver of the Year, swept both the 1M and 3M Springboard Diving titles over the weekend. Lopez topped the field in both preliminary rounds but was even better in the finals posting scores of 305.35 (1M) and 309.70 (3M) in claiming Indiana State's first titles on the diving boards in program history.
 
She currently holds the Indiana State record in both the 1M and 3M Springboard events.
 
The NCAA Zone C Qualifiers start on Monday, March 10, with the men's 1M and women's 3M competition running from 1-5 p.m. Tuesday's competition includes the men's 3M and the women's 1M competition, also running from 1-5 p.m.
 
Events will run "straight through" with a 10-minute break between the end of preliminaries and the beginning of the finals. Divers in the finals are allowed to practice during the 10-minute break.
