INDIANAPOLIS - University of Minnesota divers Sarah Bacon and Kristen Hayden took second place in the synchronized women's 3-meter springboard competition at the 2019 USA Diving Senior National Diving Championships Tuesday. The duo finished with a combined score of 286.80, a final score only 5.43 points behind the first-place pair of Alison Gibson and Krysta Palmer.
Tuesday's event is the first for both Gophers at the Championships. Bacon will return to the diving well on Wednesday for the 1-meter competition, and both Bacon and Hayden will dive in Friday's 3-meter competition.
Both women are working to earn a spot at the FINA World Championships taking place in Gwangju, South Korea this July. The first-place finishing synchronized team and the top two finishers from individual events will qualify to represent the United States this summer.
