“Montse(rrat) and Maggie were fantastic on platform in this early part of the season. Their lists were solid and showed good development since the Rocky Mountain Invitational Invite at the Air Force Academy. Overall, I’m pleased with the results at the Texas Diving Invitational.”
Olympian Anne Tuxen was scratched from the event due to an undisclosed illness.
On the men’s side, Juan Celaya-Hernandez was fulfilling previous obligations in his native country of Mexico. Freshman Adrian Abadia was scratched and did not dive in the event either.
