STATE MEET ENTRIES – DIVING
Diving entries are due by 6:00 p.m. on SUNDAY before the state meet (MAY 12).

Along with head coaches submitting divers in their TM entry file, eDive will be used again this year for dive coaches to submit dive entries. When signed-in on the KSHSAA site, school administration and coaches may go under “Activities - Swim & Dive” to access detailed, step-by-step instructions to submit eDive entries. Please note the meet host email is SMAquaticCenter@gmail.com .

Schools are also required to scan and email to rgarman@kshsaa.org an athlete’s qualifying dive sheet with a ref’s signature as proof of qualification including both score and DD from either a 6-dive or 11-dive regular season meet. A 6-dive sheet must include all 5 dive categories: forward, back, inward, twisting, and reverse.

The State Meet is an eleven (11) dive meet. Therefore, divers must complete the minimum 11-Dive DD qualifying standard at the State Championship Meet.
Coaches will receive a printed dive sheet for each of their entered athletes upon arrival at the Pass Gate.
All diving sheets must be completed, signed by the athlete and coach, and submitted to the diving referee an hour before the start time of the diving preliminaries. This will give the diving referee time to check all sheets. See NFHS Swimming and Diving Rule #9 for more details.
Diving judges are selected from those schools with diving entries. When your State Meet entries are sent to the KSHSAA, you must submit the name of a qualified diving judge (not necessarily the diving coach). Please list their name in the area provided on the pass gate list (SW-2 Form). This person must be an adult. The names of the judging panel will be assigned by the KSHSAA. The schools who are selected to provide a judge will be notified by the KSHSAA in advance of the meet.
Divers may warm-up for 90 minutes prior to the start time of the diving preliminaries (5-1A = 9:30 a.m. & 6A = 4:30 p.m.) on Thursday, May 16. All Divers will be permitted to complete the preliminaries (5 dives). Diving semifinals, top twenty (20) divers, for each class will be conducted following their preliminary session on Thursday. A 45-minute warm-up will be provided between prelims and semis.
The diving well will be open for practice on Friday, May 17 during the swimming preliminaries once Event #6-100 Yard Butterfly begins and through the conclusion of the swimming preliminaries session. 5-1A divers may practice during the 5-1A swimming preliminaries session only, and 6A divers may practice during the 6A swimming preliminaries session only.
Diving finals, top sixteen (16) divers in each class, will be conducted as Event #5 during the combined swimming & diving finals on Saturday, May 18 (5-1A = 9:00 a.m. & 6A = 4:00 p.m.).
