PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Argos will begin their season by hosting a triple-dual meet on Friday night against South Georgia College, Thomas University, and Loyola New Orleans at 5 p.m. in the UWF Aquatic Center. West Florida will look to build on the success they had this past year finishing third in the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference and 28th at the NCAA DII National Championships.
 
The UWF Divers will feature three returners from last year's squad. The three returners are Carson Bronnenberg, Jesstina Farrell and Daniela Reyes. They will also welcome two new freshman divers this year, Kelsey DeJesus and Emilie Hunter.
 
Broonenberg and Farrell each competed at the NCAA Championships last year. Bronnenberg came in 39th in the 1m by posting a score of 186.20, and she finished 32nd with a final score of 213.30 in the 3m. Farrell led the Argos in the 1m event placing 30th with a total score of 199.90. She placed 35th in the 3m diving event on Tuesday, with a final score of 208.25.
