KNOXVILLE, Tenn.- Gabi McDermott, Harrison Mitchell and Rachel Mumma of the NC State swimming and diving team competed Saturday on day one of the Tennessee Diving Invitational in Knoxville, Tenn., inside the Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
Radman's Recap
"I think today went well for us. Both Gabi and Harry are slowly making progress toward where they need to be. With each day and each dive, its a learning experience and we can see that things are starting to click for both of them.
"For Rachel, she's plugging right along. She did pretty well today- her first round was better than her second but is right where she needs to be.
"We're excited to see what tomorrow and the day after brings and go from there. We're happy with the performances all around, and today was a good start to the 2015 year and the second half of the season."- Yahya Radman, head diving coach
