Zachary Cooper, 18, Greenwood, finished third in 10-meter synchro diving with partner Max Showalter and seventh in individual platform diving last week.
They ranked third in each of the four rounds. The duo earned 76.80 points in the quarterfinals with an inward 3 and 1/2, the same dive that Cooper earned 77.40 points Sunday in the individual finals.
“I could have done a lot better; it just wasn’t my day,” said Cooper, who plans to compete next month against international competition in Italy. “I was a bit nervous but overall calm, but was just off a little bit. I didn’t change anything in my routine.”
