HASTINGS NAMED ALL-AMERICAN IN ONE- and THREE-METER DIVING

Andrew Hastings '02 ST. PAUL, Minn. - Bates College first-year diver Andrew Hastings of Weston, Mass., placed fourth in the nation in the one-meter event and seventh in the three-meter event at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships held on the campus of the University of Minnesota, becoming the fourth athlete in Bates swimming and diving history to earn multiple All-America honors at the same championhips.

Hastings, who won the three-meter diving and placed third in the one-meter at the New England championships two weeks ago, was the top first-year diver at the championships, as well as the top New England diver in the one-meter event, which was contested on March 18. He was in fifth place in the one-meter after the preliminaries with an 11-dive score of 420.10, and after the semifinals, when he posted a six-dive score of 178.90. Hastings improved one spot to fourth place with a score of 423.10. The fourth-place finish is the best-ever by a Bates diver.

In the three-meter event, contested on March 19 and 20, Hastings qualified for the finals by just over six points with an 11-dive score of 417.65. He improved to sixth place after the semifinals with a six-dive score of 177.60, and finished the final round with a score of 440.65, earning his second All-America honor of the meet. In all, Hastings scored 27 points for the Bobcats, good for 28th place among the 50 teams which scored at the championships, fourth among teams from New England. Kenyon College won the meet going away for their 20th consecutive title, the longest such streak in NCAA history.

Hastings is the fourth Bobcat this winter to earn All-America honors, joining first-year alpine skier Kyle Hildebrand of Waitsfield, Vt. and junior track and field athletes Lucas Adams of Nottingham, N.H. and Mike Danahy of So. Windsor, Conn..
