Wilkinson, Pichler Triumph
Laura Wilkinson won her second title of the Dallas Morning News National Diving Championships, the 3-meter springboard title, and David Pichler won his second straight 10-meter platform title.
The week-long competition ended with the top two finishers in each event qualifying for the U.S. team at next month’s Diving World Cup in Mexico City.
Wilkinson, of Spring, Texas, became the first diver since two-time Olympic bronze medalist Mary Ellen Clark in 1994 to win both of diving’s Olympic events at a U.S. championship.
