Nazareth College standouts, junior sprint freestyle specialist Taylor Robey and sophomore diver Allie Norwood have earned berths in the 2020 NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships March 18-21 at the Greensboro Aquatics Center. It is the second straight appearance for both student-athletes.
Robey earned a spot at the championships and will compete in three events. She is seeded No. 11 in the 50-yard freestyle with her top time this season of 23.43. She will also compete in the 100- and 200-yard races as the 34th seed in the 100- and the 44th seed in the 200-. Robey won both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events and was part of the victorious 200-free, 400-free and 200-yard medley relay teams at the 2020 Empire 8/Empire Allegheny Swimming and Diving Championships.
Norwood earned a spot in the championships on the 1- and 3-meter diving board last weekend at the NCAA Zone Regional Championships in Ithaca. She is seeded 16th in both events for Nazareth. Norwood was named Empire 8 and Allegheny Empire Diver of the Meet at the 2020 Empire 8/Allegheny Empire Swimming and Diving Championships. She earned her second consecutive Empire 8 Diver of the Meet accolade after winning both the 1-meter (438.45) and 3-meter diving events (470.95) in helping lead Nazareth to its third straight E8 Championship.
It is the second straight year for each to compete in the NCAA Championships. Last year, Robey had a 22nd place finish in the 100-, was 35th in the 50- and 40th in the 200-yard freestyle events. Norwood was 20th last year on the 3-meter board and was 19th on the 1-meter board.
