A Minnesota Gophers legend just got even more impressive. Four-time NCAA Champion is now Five-time NCAA Champion. Sarah bacon won the 3-meter springboard event at the NCAA Championships in Atlanta, Georgia Friday night and is now a 5x NCAA Individual champion.
Bacon was trying to win her fourth 1-meter springboard NCAA title Thursday night but would fall short as Miami’s Mia Vallee would break Bacon’s NCAA record she set in 2019 and take home the title and leave Bacon in second place. So she moved her sights to the three-meter event on Friday. Bacon won the 3-meter for the first time in 2021.
