“Excellent overall event today. Miami diving has always set the standard in the NCAA and we are now right there with them. There was some really tremendous dives done especially for this point in this season. We just set a great tone for the rest of the year and will take what we learned and continue to improve. Hats off to our fans for coming out and showing lots of love. Go Gators!”
