Grant, Petersen and Eaglestone shine in Austin
AUSTIN, Texas – A trio of Utah divers reached final rounds in the opening day of the Texas Diving Invitational on Thursday inside the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
Â
Elias Petersen placed eighth in the men's 1-meter finals while Kathryn Grant and Callie Eaglestone came in fifth and 11th, respectively, on the women's 3-meter.
Â
"We had a really strong start to the meet," head diving coach Richard Marschner said. "Everybody competed really well and competed within themselves. We had some great performances with several finals."
Â
Utah was one of four schools to have multiple divers in the 3-meter finals after Grant and Eaglestone made it through qualifying with scores of 282.00 and 279.60, respectively. Grant scored a 298.25 in finals, moving up four spots from the quarterfinal round to finish fifth overall, while Eaglestone's 270.40 was good enough for 11th place.
Â
"Taking fifth in this meet against all this top-20 competition is very impressive," Marschner added.
Â
After finishing eighth in the men's 1-meter preliminary round with a 322.10, Petersen could move no higher in the final round, placing eighth again with a 329.45 list score. He was the lone Utah man to reach the final round. At the 2024 Texas Diving Invitational, Petersen failed to reach the finals on the 1-meter, placing 18th in prelims, but placed sixth on the 3-meter.
Â
"We're looking forward to tomorrow," Marschner said.
Â
Looking Ahead
The Utah divers are back in action on Friday, Nov. 14, with the second day of the Texas Diving Invitational. Preliminary rounds of the women's 1-meter springboard and men's 3-meter springboard will begin at 12:40 p.m. MT with finals of each event getting underway at 5:30 p.m. MT.
