ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Penn State freshman Jonah Cey was the lone Nittany Lion to dive on the final day of the Navy Diving Invitation Saturday morning at Lejeune Hall, finishing third in the platform (311.40).
Cey's dives concluded a three-day diving only meet.
"He was not as clean as he could be but had great mechanics in all his dives and could easily increase his score in future meets," said head diving coach Jeff DiNicola. Cey was able to make zone cuts with his dive in the platform.
On the first day, the Nittany Lions saw a top-10 finish by Kamryn Umbel in the women's 3-meter and four top-10 finishes for the men in the 1-meter. Umbel finished ninth with a score of 260.55. On day two, Hector Garcia Boissier led three Penn State finalists with a first-place finish with a score of 439.85, his highest score of the year.
Senior Jack Crow posted a personal- best in the 3-meter reaching the top-five in the finals placing fourth with a score of 366.50. Sophomore Bryce Hoch had a solid weekend, punching his NCAA Zone ticket in the 1-meter with a score of 302.10.
