ITHACA, N.Y. – Cortland freshman Ian Killane (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) finished ninth out of 19 competitors on the men's 3-meter board during the opening day of action at the NCAA Division III Region 4 (Northeast/South) Men's Diving Regional.

Killane will continue competition Saturday at Ithaca College on the 1-meter board at approximately 3 p.m. The top six men will advance to the NCAA Division III Championships, with the qualifiers chosen in alternating fashion with the top finisher on Day 1, then the top finisher on Day 2, then the second finisher on Day 1, and so on, with those already chosen skipped for the next finisher on that board.

Killane finished with an 11-dive score of 449.35 points, less than a half point behind the eighth-place finisher and less than 10 points from fifth place. Westminster's Connor May finished first with 544.25 points, followed by Samuel Randall of Geneseo (528.90) and Sean Piacente of Rowan (526.65). Killane was in fourth place after five dives and was sixth after seven rounds but dropped to ninth in the eighth rotation. He briefly moved back into eighth place after his 10th dive before finishing ninth.
