MINNEAPOLIS – Three top-10 finishes for Minnesota highlighted the final day of competition at the Georgia Diving Invitational Thursday in Athens, Ga.
Fifth-year senior Joy Zhu and junior Av Osero both represented the women in the 1-meter finals, while freshman Drew Bennett did the same for the men on the platform.
Zhu finished third with her score of 308.80, an improvement of almost 13 points from her prelim score. Osero, meanwhile, was seventh following her performance of 276.40 that was nearly 12 points better than her prelims.
Bennett was eighth through the platform prelims and stayed there in the finals as he recorded a 299.15.
Four other Gophers also competed for the women Thursday in the prelims. Freshman Vivi Del Angel was 13th (257.60), junior Megan Phillip came in right behind her in 14th (252.95), sophomore Kate LaMonica finished 18th (238.70) and freshman Addie Albrecht ended in 29th (219.50).
All told over the three-day event, the Golden Gophers had 11 divers reach the finals of their event, including Del Angel taking home the platform title Wednesday.
Minnesota swimming and diving is back in action on Jan. 12 with a dual meet at the University of Tampa.
