All three Gators opened prelims with scores of 60.0 or higher to put themselves in early contention, but each fell outside the top eight midway through the session.

Gesing responded with a 73.90 on his final dive to post a 344.95 overall and surge into a tie for fourth, while Agundez Mora delivered a 67.20 to secure the eighth and final championship final spot with a 338.25.

Through one event, the men are tied for second with Texas at 53 points, while Tennessee leads the team standings with 98 points.
 
Hear from Head Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly
“First and foremost, I’m happy that we were able to get points on the board for the team. That’s always the priority at this meet. All three men scoring and two making the A final is an excellent start. I really think we are in peak form right now we just weren’t able to put it all together in the final which kept us off the podium. But if we can maintain this level and keep doing what we’re are doing, things will fall into place. We weren’t at our best and were still in the hunt. That’s a great sign.”
