In the men's 3-meter dive, Wang placed fifth in the preliminary round with a score of 391.45. After moving on to the A final, the Beijing, China native dove a 365.90 to secure All-America status for the second-straight day.
Senior Kaiser Neverman also swam the 100 fly prelims. His time of 46.25 was his season best.
