TUCSON, Ariz. - Competing on the men's 3-meter springboard and the women's 1-meter springboard, the Air Force diving team wrapped up day two of action at the Wildcat Diving Invitational, hosted by Arizona.

For the second-straight day, senior David Arlington (Eagle River, Alaska) was the Falcons' top performer, advancing to the consolation finals in the 3-meter dive with a preliminary score of 264.10. Arlington then posted a mark of 291.45 to finish fifth in the consolation finals and 13th overall.

Freshman Beau Riebe (Mercer Island, Wash.) had the next best score for Air Force on the 3-meter board with a mark of 262.55, finishing 18th overall, while Kyle Van Valkenburg (Sr., Tucson, Ariz.) placed 19th overall with a preliminary mark of 259.55.
