Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly

On his over thoughts on the team's performance today…

"Got off to a great start today for the men. This was Anton's first experience here and he shows tons of promise for the future. One meter is Leo's weakest event so to finish in 7th in the "A" final is excellent. We are looking forward to three-meter tomorrow."

What's Next

Garcia and Svirskyi will compete on the 3-meter springboard staring at 4 p.m. with the finals to follow at 8 p.m.
