Gerlach came back strong in the 3-meter final to improve from
\nFriday's second place finish on 1-meter. Her score today, 327.70,
\nwas just 5.60 points off her personal best mark set against Alabama on
\nNovember where she also won the title. This marks Gerlach's second
\nwin at the 3-meter level and her fifth straight Zone B qualifier. She
\nwill move on to the 5:30 p.m. CT shootout this evening, along with
\nLynnsey Segraves and Segerlin. Teammate Segraves looked in position to
\ntake the second spot on 3-meter, but fell just short on her last dive
\nand ended up fourth (286.20).<\/p>\n
"Corey and Lynnsey both did a great job," head diving coach Jeff
\nShaffer said. "Corey was close to her personal best to win the event
\nand Lynnsey was fourth. With a little bit stronger last dive, it would
\nhave been close to the girls finishing one, two. Lynnsey made some
\ncorrections on her last dive while we were here which are really going
\nto help her during the championship portion of the season."<\/p>\n
On the men's side, Georgia's Chris Colwill scored just 24.4 points
\nmore than Tiger Segerlin to take the win on 1-meter. Segerlin turned in
\na forty point bettered score in the final's (326.10) to secure his
\nsecond straight runner up finish of the competition. Newcomer Scott
\nMorgan nearly qualified for the finals, falling just 11 points short to
\nfinish 15th overall (241.25). <\/p>\n
"Steve finished second on the 1-meter and had a much improved
\nfinal's performance as he scored 40 points higher," Shaffer said.
\n"Scott was just 11 points from qualifying for the final's, so he
\ncontinues to show improvement and will just to work a little on his form
\nto improve upon his scores."<\/p>\n
