the lead going into the Finals. Finchum/Boudia chipped away at the lead with
a 5253B that scored 76.50 and solidified their 2nd place standing. The Dumais
Brother’s match the highest scoring dive of the afternoon with a 5253B
for 84.66 points. But the real race this afternoon was for that 8th and last
qualifying spot for finals. Steven LoBue and Klye Mitrione of Blue Dolphin Diving
nailed their 207C for 7’s and 8’s to move them from the 9th position
to the 7th spot and qualified them for the finals.
