GREENSBORO, N.C. – Carleton College junior Hans Anderson wrapped up his first trip to the NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships with another Second Team All-America performance as he finished 12th in 1-meter diving.
 
Anderson, who also earned Second Team All-America with a 12th-place result during Wednesday's 3-meter competition, is only the third diver in program history to earn All-America or All-America Honorable Mention at Nationals, joining Ken Potts '83 and Eric Brenner '11 (see full chart of Carleton honorees below).
 
"Hans' diving is much improved over last year, and the ending was much sweeter than last year and even more impressive considering he was unable to finish last season due to injury," said Carleton diving coach Gabe Kortuem.
 
"Diving is extremely taxing from a mental standpoint. Hans has become much better at celebrating the successes no matter how small, viewing mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures, and trusting himself and the training process. Hans has much to be proud of, especially on the 1-meter board as he navigated through a deep field to be in a scoring spot. His 3-meter was excellent as well (on Wednesday)."
 
Anderson scored 441.55 points to take 12th place during the preliminary round. His highest-scoring dive was his toughest, a 2.8-degree of difficulty Inward 2 Somersault Tuck (404C) that earned him 50.40 points. He nearly matched that with a 49.20-point performance on his Reverse 1 1/2 Somersault Pike (303B).
 
In the finals, he again scored 50.40 points on his 404C dive. While the Reverse 1 1/2 Somersault 1 1/2 Twist Free (5333D) was the lowest scoring of his six optional dives during the prelims, Anderson had a cleaner entry during the consolation round and collected 46.80 points on the same dive, his second-highest total of the finals.
 
"Hans' performances here in Greensboro were exciting, and his overall body of work was excellent," said Kortuem. "I enjoyed watching Hans push himself this season, learning many new dives and improving execution on all of his dives as well. I am excited for next season to watch his future growth in the sport."
