COLUMBUS, Ohio - Green Bay divers Kari Helland (Wayzata, Minn.) and Lauren McGraw (Woodbury, Minn.) wrapped up their participation at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday afternoon after competing in the 3-meter dive.

Helland, a senior, completed her standout career by finishing 33rd among 41 women on the high board with a six-dive score of 209.10. On Friday, she placed 34th on the 1-meter.

McGraw, a sophomore, took 36th on the 3-meter with a sum of 198.30. The Female Diver of the Meet at the Horizon League Championships last month had the same finish on the 1-meter event one day earlier.

The two were the first Phoenix women's divers ever to compete at the NCAA diving regionals. In February, they helped Green Bay to its fourth straight league crown.
