INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA announced the list of participants for the 2018 NCAA Division III Regional events. From the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC), 12 student athletes have been selected to compete at the Region 2 event, March 2-3 at the Palo Alto College Aquatics Center hosted by Trinity College in San Antonio, Texas.

On the women's side, seven of the 17 total female divers from the region will be from the SCIAC including Cal Lutheran's Kimberly Mehl. Other SCIAC divers include Simran Rajani and Kellyn Toole from Chapman, Nia-Renee Cooper and Maia Presti from Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Emma van der Veen from Pomona-Pitzer and Redland's Sami Scarano.

To qualify for participation in a regional meet a diver must achieve the qualifying standard at least once at a bona fide conference championship or twice (on the same board) during any other bona fide competition and submit appropriate documentation of qualifying performances to the diving coordinator. If a diver only qualifies on one board, they may still dive both events at the regional meet.

The qualifiers to the National Championships will be assigned by alternating between the highest finisher on day one and the highest finisher on day two, considering that divers already invited will be skipped. This assures equal consideration is given to both boards.

The 2018 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships will be held over a four-day period, March 21-24, at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, Ind.
