Hear from Head Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly
“Great start for us today. Carina was solid the whole way through and Camyla really showed what she was made of after a couple mistakes early in the meet. Her poise under pressure in her first zone meet was remarkable. Two for two in the first event gives us a lot of momentum moving forward. I’m excited to see what the rest of the meet has in store for us.”
