INDIANAPOLIS, July 6. FORMER South Carolina All-America diver Allison Brennan has been named one of 14 divers to the USA Diving team roster for the XV FINA Diving World Cup, to be held July 19-23 in Changshu, China. Brennan will represent USA on the 1-meter board.
International competition is nothing new to the Huntington Beach, Calif. native. Although this marks the first World Cup for Brennan, in 2005 she finished fourth on the one-meter board at the World University Games
in Turkey and in 2004 she competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials.
A four-time All-American, Brennan capped her career at USC this past spring when she finished second on the one-meter board at the NCAA Championships and ninth on the three-meter. She claimed the SEC title on both boards and was named USC's Co-Female Athlete of the Year. In 2004, Brennan was the NCAA champion on the one-meter.
The United States roster includes 2004 World Cup platform champion Laura Wilkinson (Spring, Texas), who joins two other Olympians – Cassandra Cardinell (Loudonville, N.Y) and Troy Dumais (Ventura, Calif.) – on the
World Cup team. Also included on the roster are 2005 U.S. national champions David Boudia (Noblesville, Ind.), Kelci Bryant (Chatham, Ill.) and Thomas Finchum (Indianapolis, Ind.).
