Hear from Head Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly

On Jesus winning platform and qualifying for NCAA’s in all three events:

“The highlight today was definitely Jesus running away with the platform event on his birthday. It’s always a challenging event, especially after three straight days of high pressure prelims and finals, but he stepped up to the challenge without hesitation. I’m very proud of him and looking forward to seeing what he can do at NCAAs.”

 

On the women’s three-meter performance:

“Another strong day with Camyla starting us off by qualifying on three-meter with a very consistent list of dives in both prelims and finals. Although Casey didn’t advance, she competed very well and is set up great for her specialty tomorrow on Platform.”
