"Cameron has a shot at getting in. It depends on tomorrow's results , we'll just have to wait and see. He dove pretty well, just a few mistakes here and there, but was able to keep himself in the thick of things."
Brittany Jumer placed eighth on the 3-meter. After scoring 270.2 points in the preliminaries, she added 295.25 to her total and earned 56.45 on the day.
