SMU diver Britney Yancey took first in the three-meter board against No. 1 Auburn and No. 6 Texas A&M Saturday, highlighting several strong performances by the No. 12 Mustangs in College Station.
Yancey beat two Aggie divers and a diver from Auburn to take first in the competition. Her score of 288.90 was over 17 points higher than the second-place finisher's. Freshman Audra Egenolf earned second in the one-meter board, totaling 242.95. Egenolf was less than six points behind the first-place competitor.
The swimmers finished in the top five in eight events. Both relays finished fourth, with the 200 medley relay squad of Anja Carman, Devon Callaghan, Angela San Juan Cisneros and Petra Klosova completing the course in 1:44.45, just over three seconds behind the first-place finishers.
