ATLANTA – Sophomore MaryEllen Targonski and freshman Mackenzie Willborn both advanced to the women’s platform finals Wednesday on the final day of competition at the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships.
A Zones finalist on the platform a year ago, Targonski advanced once again with a 15th-place finish in preliminaries (227.40). She started off her finals list in strong fashion, receiving an award of 63.00 on her first dive, an inward 2 ½ somersault for a 2.8 degree of difficulty. The Gastonia, N.C., native surpassed the 50-point mark again in the second round and totaled 255.
