He scored more than 80 points on two of his other three dives en route to the 10-meter victory.<\/p>\n \u201cThat first dive really boosted my confidence. After that, my coach just told me to have fun and I did,\u201d Windle said. \u201cI really didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be a national champion before I was 16, but I had a lot of people telling me I could do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Mark Anderson<\/strong>\u00a0(Lake Forest, Calif.\/Austin, Texas) was second with 527.80 points, and\u00a0Zach Cooper<\/strong>\u00a0(Trafalgar, Ind.) was third with 442.90 points.<\/p>\n Rittenhouse scored 350.45 points to won the women\u2019s 3-meter gold with a consistent performance. She scored no lower than 66 points on any dive, with 75.95 points on a front 3 \u00bd pike and 72 points on her front 2 \u00bd with a twist.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy with how I dove. I was really consistent. I knew I had to hit all of my dives like I know I can. The other divers really put the pressure on me being last in the lineup, and it was a fight all the way through,\u201d Rittenhouse said.<\/p>\n Laura Ryan<\/strong>\u00a0(Elk River, Minn.\/Athens, Ga.) won silver with 336.75 points, while\u00a0Elissa Dawson<\/strong>\u00a0(Durham, N.C.)\u00a0 took bronze with 328.50 points.<\/p>\n Bowersox and Nees came from behind to win their first title together, scoring 407.13 points to edge\u00a0Bryce Klein<\/strong>\u00a0(Southlake, Texas) and\u00a0Bradley Christensen<\/strong>\u00a0(Southlake, Texas\/Stanford, Calif.) by 1.35 points.

I knew we needed about 87 points, and I was pretty nervous. That was the contest right there, and we just had to stay calm and do the dive,\u201d Bowersox said.<\/p>\n A day after Bromberg won the individual 10-meter title, she and Ivory-Ganja paired together for 305.16 points to win their first national title together as a synchro team.
