They laid a good foundation. They feel capable of doing their best diving of the year.

Christina dove well, especially for going between the dual meet and selection camp. We appreciate her doing whatever needed to be done for the team. She is certainly a star of the future for not only IU Diving, but U.S. Diving as well.

I am very proud of our diving student-athletes here at Indiana University. We want to be competitive both in the diving well and in the classroom, and my goal is to challenge the divers to continue improving in both areas next year.

Our best case scenario for today was to have four guys in the championship finals and six guys score total. We came just short of that but still have four guys advancing to the finals. At this point, they got the job done. We needed four guys in the finals, and they are there. Tonight, I am going to tell them to have fun and relax. We had some great dives. Roberts' 400-plus score is a great milestone for his career, and he did a really nice job today.

They did great. We knew it would be a crapshoot and I think it was our best performance on the one-meter. We just need to use this as a catalyst for (Friday).

I think Christina winning this award not only reflects on her personal improvement, but also the improvement of the entire team. Each one of our divers is completely focused on the upcoming championship season.
