Welsh represents the Bears in her final collegiate postseason appearance. The senior is coming off a third place finish on the 1-meter at NEWMACs and a sixth place score on the 3-meter. At the 2025 NCAA Diving Regional, Welsh posted a seventh place finish on the 3-meter and 13th place mark on the 1-meter.

Strunk will make her nationals debut this weekend after qualifying for regionals at the final meet of the regular season. At NEWMACs, she placed ninth on both the 1-meter and 3-meter.

Divers earned their place at regionals by achieving the NCAA qualifying standard twice on the same board at two separate meets during the regular season or conference championships. Advancement to the NCAA Championships will be determined by finishing place at each board, with allocations awarded based on the region's assigned qualifying spots.
