By placing fourth, Pinter earned her fourth Division III All-American honor.  She also placed sixth in the 3-meter event on Wednesday (March 23).

Pinter scored 433.15 points in the championship round of the 1-meter event to place fourth.  She also had a 434.10-point total in the preliminary round.  Her four Division III All-American awards are the most-ever by a Yellow Jacket female swimming and diving student-athlete.

In addition to earning All-America honors in the 1-meter event, Pinter scored 464.15 points in the prelims of the 3-meter event on Wednesday to break her own previous Yellow Jacket school record of 446.92 points set at last year's Division III national meet. In the 3-meter finals, she placed sixth and scored 399.80 points to earn her third All-American award.  Her prelim score of 464.15 points ranked as the third best total in the 3-meter event.
 
In addition to Pinter, Yellow Jacket seven-time men's All-American diver Todd Richert (North Royalton) placed fifth in the 1-meter event on Thursday (March 24) to earn his school-record seventh All-America certificate.
