LOS ANGELES – Pepperdine diving wrapped up the Trojan Diving Invitational on Saturday at USC's Uytengsu Aquatics Center, with Taityn Speier and Bailey Mahoney both advancing to the platform final.
"Two Pepperdine divers in finals yesterday on 3-meter and today on platform is exciting to see," diving coach Monique Demaisip said. "Even with limited tower training time, our divers finished in their highest placements of finals on the tower event this weekend. We are continuing to make our presence known and becoming more recognized as competitors at meets like this. This meet was a week earlier than usual, so we had a little less training time going into it. I am looking forward to getting back to training for a bit to work on some upgrades, fine-tune details and come back even stronger for our next big meet!"
Mahoney qualified 16th out of 27 divers in the preliminary round (170.10), and Speier earned the 18th and final qualifying spot (155.70). Speier moved up three places in the final, finishing 15th with a total of 337.55. Mahoney placed 16th with a total of 335.25.
The Waves had a finalist on each day of the three-day meet. Jackie Johnson opened the invitational on Thursday by advancing to the 1-meter final, moving up two places to finish 15th with a total of 418.85. On Friday, Johnson and Mahoney both reached the 3-meter final, finishing 16th (428.30) and 17th (412.90).

The Pepperdine swimmers next travel to Boise, Idaho, for the Northwest Collegiate Invite, Nov. 19-22.
