SPRINGFIELD - The Missouri State diving team will set off for the Omaha Diving Invite starting Friday evening (Jan. 31) and concluding Saturday afternoon (Feb. 1).

The first day of the meet at H&K Pool will begin Friday at 6:00 p.m. CT with the women competing in the 1-meter dive and the men in the 3-meter dive. The roles will flip on Saturday starting at noon with the women taking on the 3-meter dive and the men in the 1-meter dive. There will be a team event to close out the meet on Saturday.
