COACH'S THOUGHTS
"This was Connie's first platform competition ever and she such a good job," diving coach Anthony Crowder said. "She was very focused and strong. I'm looking forward to her development on platform. Overall, it was a good meet, especially with how we were able to improve on Thursday."

UP NEXT
