OKLAHOMA -- Two Cougar divers, Justin Beardall and Scott Randall, had an excellent first day of competition at the NCAA Zone E competition held in Oklahoma City Thursday afternoon.
"Both divers did a good job. Justin was on his way but just missed one dive to make it in the top three," diving coach Keith Russell said. "They should finish well in the 1-meter springboard tomorrow."
The first day's competition consisted of the men's 3-meter and the women's 1-meter competition.
Beardall was the Cougars' highest finisher at seventh place with a score of 472.9, while Randall finished ninth with a score of 454.25. Tomorrow the pair will compete in the men's 1-meter springboard.
Sterling Richards of Utah finished at eighth place with a 467.85, just below Beardall in the competition.
