Seven members of the University of Wyoming diving team competed at the BYU Diving Invite Friday and Saturday in Provo, Utah. On the men's side junior Oscar Delgado placed sixth in both the 1-meter (296.5) and 3-meter (462.55) springboard events. Senior Christian Brienza placed seventh on the 1-meter (252.10) and eight on the 3-meter (399.2) and freshman Tony Gleason placed tenth on the 1-meter (198.8) and ninth on the 3-meter (298.65). The Cowgirls had a strong showing in the 3-meter event with senior Wendy O'Connell leading the way with a fifth-place finish with a score of 402.9. Sophomore Lauren Colaric placed right behind O'Connell in sixth with a score of 399.75, freshman Channing Kimball finished seventh with a score of 385.7 and freshman Katy Byington placed 16th with a score of 319.4. The UW women qualified all four divers for the semifinals on the 1-meter however none of them made the finals. O'Connell was one place away from advancing to the finals with a ninth-place finish in the semifinals on the 1-meter (208.80). "I was pretty pleased with the way things went for us," said UW diving coach Jason Baumann. "I was very happy with our effort and focus. I would have liked to see us dive a little more consistently as we moved on from the prelims to the semifinals and finals, but that will come with time. "This was a good meet for us to work on some new things which will help
us to get better as the season goes on." Baumann said.
