AUBURN, Ala. - Senior Kelly Marx picked up his second title at the University of Georgia Invitational Sunday at the Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga.
"Overall, the meet was a great experience for our divers," Jeff Shaffer, head diving coach, said. "I'm very encouraged with the results and the individual progress we've been making."
Marx captured first on the 10-meter platform with a score of 399.40. Teammate Adam Godzinski competed in his first platform meet and also had a successful day. The sophomore finished third with a score of 278.10.
"Kelly did a good job and had some very solid dives," Shaffer said. "I think Adam did a great job with it being his first platform meet."
The Auburn diving team continues competition at the Georgia Invite and then heads to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama Diving Invitational Dec. 17-19. The entire squad returns to competition Jan. 7 when the Tigers return to Austin for a dual meet against Texas.
