The men travel to Cleveland, Ohio, March 22-24 for the national collegiate meet. Huber said it is difficult to tell how Nebraska will do at the NCAA meets because "you don't know until that day how the diver can perform." He said, however, that the three team members have set up a pattern this season of competing welL "If we don't try to impress (the judges) and just go out and dive, well do well," Huber said. "We have been preparing for this from the beginning of the year. We've laid our foundation. I know that what we've been doing is good enough. WeVe just got to continue to do what we've done and stay loose." He said he expects the men to place in the top six and Heaton to place in the top 16.
