Waxman's Season Comes to an End at the 2022 NCAA Championships

ATLANTA- Holly Waxman's incredible freshman campaign came to an end on Friday afternoon, finishing in 38th on the 3m at the 2022 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.

"Holly finished up a great season today and I'm really happy with how she did this year and how she did this meet. We would've liked to have gotten into the All-America realm but she just missed out," head diving coach Richard Marschner said. "It's very difficult to come into this meet as a relative unknown on the national level and dive so well. She definitely earned a lot of respect and gained experience that will help next year and beyond."

Coming off a 21st overall finish yesterday on the 1m, Waxman totaled 274.65 to place in the top-40 of the nation's best in the event.

"Holly has the drive and the ability to make the improvements she needs to make so that next year we can achieve that All-American status," said Marschner.

Showcasing consistency, poise and steadiness throughout her freshman year, Waxman moved her name into the Utah record book and posted scores that have placed her seventh on the 1m, ninth on the 3m and fifth on the platform.
