“I only entered the 1-meter for the Winter Open to focus on qualifying for the NCAA Zone meet in that event,” said Katchuk, adding, “I missed it last week at the Bryant University meet by 1.15 points, so I was determined. The scoring standard in our conference is very strict, so I needed to be sharp.”
Outside the pool, Katchuk began her college career with a solid start, achieving a perfect grade point average in her first semester. Next up is the Patriot League Conference Championships at Navy, Feb. 18-21.
