All-America senior Emma Ivory-Ganja wins three-meter for a second straight year at the UT Diving Invite.
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas All-America senior Emma Ivory-Ganja produced a personal best in the women's three-meter diving finals on her way to victory Thursday on day one of the UT Diving Invite at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
Ivory-Ganja totaled a lifetime-best 395.40 points to handily win the three-meter finals. The reigning NCAA runner-up on platform eclipsed 70 points on three of her six dives and surpassed her winning three-meter score from the 2013 UT Invite by over 30 points. Her 395 points would have placed her third in the same event at the NCAA Championships last March.
UT junior Meghan Houston totaled 337.90 points for second place in the final. Texas junior Kristina Hoffmann placed 12th in the preliminary round with 245.85 points.
The UT Diving Invite continues Friday with the men's three-meter event (1:30 p.m. prelims) and the women's one-meter event (11 a.m. prelims).
