RIVERSIDE, Calif.— Brittany Dixon and Sage D'Ambrosia were both double-winners for the Colorado Mesa University diving team as they won both the and 1 and 3-meter events on Friday afternoon at the Cal Baptist Lancer Invitational.
 
D'Ambrosia recorded an NCAA qualifying total of 287.1 points over six dives in the men's 1-meter and claimed the 3-meter with 290.55 points.  Teammate Noah Macomber took second in the latter with 271.5 points while Caleb Truman finished sixth with 207.15.  Chandler Livingston was eighth with 168.5 while Ross Barringer finished ninth with 164.3 points.
 
In the 1-meter, Livingston took fourth with 239.05 while Sabin Venable also claimed a top-5 finish with 223.65.  Macomber (218.15), Truman (201.3) and Barringer (185.05) finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively.

The Mavericks were competing against divers from the host squad, Concordia (Calif.) and Fresno Pacific.

"After a long drive, it's always hard learning to step up in colder weather, especially for such a young team," Maverick Head Diving Coach Logan Pearsall said about the outdoor venue.

The divers will contest the same events in an 11-dive format on Saturday.

"We tried some new things and stepped out of our comfort zone some to help us further down the road. Winning all 4 events is always nice but they are hungry to do better as a team tomorrow," Pearsall said.
