AUBURN, Ala. – Head diving coach John Fox and his Auburn diving crew concluded a terrific week with the men's platform event on Wednesday. Senior Hunter Kebler capped off his impressive showing with a win and a career-high while the rest of the Tigers put together solid scores inside James E. Martin Aquatic Center.
Winston-Salem, North Carolina native Whit Andrus was the cream of the crop in prelims, striking a solid 346.20 with Kebler right behind at 343.13.
It was the Moultrie, Georgia product in finals, though, who brought the house down. Kebler strung together his best six dives from the platform in his career, piling up a 396.68 to take the win.
Andrus would follow in third. Meanwhile, Freshmen Talan Blackmon (285.60) took fourth and Alex Just (272.10) grabbed fifth.
