INDIANAPOLIS – Former Longhorns Troy Dumais and Cory Bowersox and UT rising senior Mark Anderson landed top-six finishes in the men's synchronized three-meter finals Wednesday evening on day five of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Diving Trials.
Dumais, a bronze medalist with Kristian Ipsen in the same event at the 2012 London Olympics, placed second alongside Ipsen in the finals with 1,260.39 points. Bowersox, a five-time All-American who completed his collegiate eligbility in March, placed fourth alongside former Miami diver Zach Nees with 1,100.31 points.
