Auburn had three divers grab top-10 finishes as action continued at the Georgia Tech Invite on Friday in Atlanta. Carly Scheper finished eighth on the women's 3-meter and Justin Youtsey and Pete Turnham placed ninth and tenth, respectively, on the 1-meter.
"We had a better day today," Auburn head diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. "Carly was consistent in the prelims and then improved her score in the finals."

On the men's 1-meter, Youtsey scored a 314.55 in the final and Turnham a 289.20. Youtsey had entered the finals in third with a 323.10 prelims score while Turnham was in ninth after a 301.05.
"Both Justin and Pete had some great dives in the finals," Shaffer said. "The experience is something we can build and improve upon."
