“I thought the kids did a real good job, especially considering we were coming off a break and some Christmas training,” Georgia diving coach Dan Laak said. “I’m real pleased with where we are right now and I’m anxious to see how we do the next couple of days and moving forward.”

The women’s 1-meter and the men’s 3-meter competitions will be held on Sunday, followed by men’s and women’s platform on Monday.
