Hattie Completes Springboard Sweep at UGA Diving Invite, Cable Sets PR on Platform

ATHENS, Ga. – For the second day in a row, Tennessee's Bryden Hattie finished on top in the men's event at the Georgia Diving Invitational, while Grace Cable recorded a new personal best on the platform on Wednesday.

On the men's 3-meter, Hattie led the way as three Vols finished inside the top six of the event. The junior from Victoria, British Columbia won the 1-meter event yesterday and followed up that performance by throwing down a 381.50 effort to sweep the springboard events. Five of his six dives scored for more than 60 points.

Jacob Reasor and Nick Stone joined Hattie in the final. Reasor notched a 337.25 mark to take fourth, while Stone rallied from early struggles to average 60.6 points per dive on his last three attempts and finish with a 327.40 effort to come in sixth. Owen Redfearn came up just short of advancing to the finals, placing 14th overall during prelims with a score of 308.50.

Because three Vols finished inside the top six on 3-meter, all three earned spots back in the night cap for the Bulldawg Shootout, which is a knockout style event unique to the UGA Diving Invite.

On the women's side, Cable highlighted prelims by recording a new career-best score of 277.50, which narrowly missed moving her up in the UT records from ninth. Her performance began with a strong start, nailing her first two dives for 60-plus points. In the finals, she finished fifth with a 234.55 mark.

Tanesha Lucoe was the top overall finisher for the Lady Vols, as she took third thanks to a 246.00 effort despite a pair of low-scoring dives. Her list did include an impressive Inward 2 1/2 Somersault Pike that netted her a 72.80 score. During prelims, she had the third-best mark at 270.40.

Rounding things out for UT, Elle Renner and Kara Holt also earned spots in the final. Renner posted a 229.20 score to take sixth. Holt placed ninth behind a 219.05 mark. Bailey Davenport recorded a score of 184.85 to finish 26th during prelims.

On Wednesday, the Lady Vols will compete on 1-meter, while the Vols will take on the platform. The session will begin at 11 a.m. with men's and women's events running concurrently. Finals will begin 15 minutes following the conclusion of the prelims session.
