LEXINGTON, Kentucky, February 2. AUBURN'S men and women divers have pushed their teams ahead after day one of the 2007 SEC Swimming and Diving Championships.<\/p>\n
Auburn's Steven Segerlin surged to the winner's circle after sticking a 74.40 on the sixth and final dive of the competition to overcome Florida's Jonathan Wilcox. Sergelin won the men's one-meter event with a score of 380.50. Wilcox took second with a 357.50 total score. Auburn's Kelly Marx placed third and Daniel Mazzaferro grabbed sixth to post a score of 61 as Auburn leaves with a 38 point edge over Florida.<\/p>\n
"Definitely my last dive pushed me over the top," said Segerlin. "Coming from behind the whole meet to take the victory was real sweet and exciting.'<\/p>\n
On the women's side, Auburn's Corey Gerlach edged Kentucky's Taryn Ignacio by two points to win the women's three-meter event. Gerlach scored an SEC-record 354.00 as Auburn took home its second win on the evening.<\/p>\n
"I try to stay pretty relaxed during finals," said Gerlach. "If I put a lot of pressure on myself I don't dive as well."<\/p>\n
Kentucky's Ignacio and junior Kari Retrum finished two and three, respectively with scores of 352.80 and 318.40 to pull Auburn is ahead of Kentucky 34-33 after day one.<\/p>\n
The Championships resume tomorrow with the men's three-meter and women's one-meter diving events. On Sunday, the divers will compete in the platform event before swimming gets underway on Wednesday, Feb. 7.<\/p>\n
