Kent Olson just missed the podium for sixth place by a couple of points, taking seventh in the competition. Nick Torres took 10th in boys diving.
“Nick had some low scores on five of his dives that are usually good dives,” said Foster.

Dwight Denny and T.J. Bettino placed 13th and 16th respectively, with Nathan Hepworth splitting the pair in 15th place.
