KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Delaney Schnell led in the women’s 10-meter springboard after the semifinals, and Andrew Capobianco set the pace in the men’s 3-meter springboard at the U.S. Olympic diving trials on Friday night.
Schnell plans to add a second event to his Paris schedule after qualification in the synchronized 10 meters with Jess Parratto.
Silver medal with Parratto at the Tokyo Games, Schnell scored 325.95 points in the individual event to lead Daryn Wright by 18.10 heading into Sunday’s final. Sophia McAfee placed third with 275.10.
Capobianco led the men’s event with 507.25. He scored 91.65 and 91.20 on his final two jumps to take a 21.65-point lead into Sunday’s final. Carson Tyler was next at 485.60, with Luke Sitz holding third place at 430.10.
The scores from the semi-finals are carried over to the finals. The top two finishers in the men’s 3 meters qualify for the Olympics, while only the winner of the women’s 10 meters wins a place.
It looks like it’s going to be a busy weekend for Tyler, who led after the platform semi-finals. He will try to earn an Olympic spot in that event on Saturday before returning for the springboard final a day later.
