QUOTABLES

"After a long break from meets, our Waves got back into the swing of competing and took lessons from their first event," diving coach Monique Demaisip said. "We improved in consistency and execution each day. It is always a great experience for us to be able to compete back-to-back lists in prelims and finals. This meet is one of the toughest diving competitions on our schedule. We have been working our way up and improving each year, which is very rewarding to see!"
