SAN ANTONIO, TX – Sophomore Diver Sydney Patterson (Hilo, HI) of the University of Redlands Swimming & Diving team wrapped up the two-day NCAA Division III Diving West Regional in San Antonio, TX at Trinity University.

Patterson competed on both the 1-Meter and 3-Meter boards and was a participant in the regional for the first time in her career.

On Day 1 she competed in the 1-Meter finishing 15^th overall with a score of 350.20.  The highlight of the day was her "voluntary list" (first five dives), which accumulated 171 points, which would have placed her 2^nd in the field.  Unfortunately she under-twisted on her last dive (incorrect dive), which dropped her from 6^th to 15^th.  Her six dives had a difficulty degree of 22.00 and she was able to beat out Sophia Wojdylo (16^th – Grinnell College), Gabrielle Fulk (17^th – Trinity University), Victoria Nguyen (18^th – Trinity University), and Eleanor Mackey (19^th – Pomona-Pitzer). 

Wrapping up the event Patterson competed on the 3-Meter and was unable to gain any momentum finishing in 17^th with a 322.50.  Her six dives had a degree difficulty of 22.90 and she was able to beat out Megan Norris (18^th – Coe College). 

On the year Patterson was named the SCIAC Diver of the Week three times and took home 2^nd Place honors at the SCIAC Diving Championships on both the 1-Meter and 3-Meter boards, collecting All-SCIAC honors in both.
