Quotables
Arkansas Diving Coach Dale Schultz: “I am really happy and proud of the way Brooke dove today. She put up an impressive sequence. We are really looking forward to competing tomorrow.”
Arkansas Head Coach Neil Harper: “What a great way to end the day. Brooke did an amazing job of qualifying for the final this morning and then performing beautifully tonight. She has worked so hard to get to this point and I’m so excited for her, Dale and our team. In the pool we had some strong performances that just weren’t quite fast enough to earn second swims in the finals. Tomorrow is another day of opportunity and six of our seven ladies will compete in their individual events for the Hogs again!”
