Chris Colwill can finally make plans to be in the Beijing Olympics. And his parents can now book their travel plans to see him compete in those games.
After Colwill’s performance Saturday afternoon in men’s 3-meter individual springboard at the U.S. Diving Olympic Team Selection Camp in Knoxville, Tenn., he’s a certainty to make the squad in that event. The 23-year-old Tampa Prep and University of Georgia graduate took second place in his third list of dives and first in the fourth and final list to lock up his first trip to the Olympics.
The Selection Camp committee still has to gather Sunday to determine the roster and the official announcement will not come until Monday. But Colwill has done everything needed to land a spot on the U.S. Olympic diving roster in 3-meter individual. He dominated the camp, took second place at last month’s Olympic trials and owns all other tiebreakers.
The lone second-place finish Colwill had at the camp came to Troy Dumais, who earned the first Olympic slot in individual 3-meter by wining the trials.
Tonight, Colwill will try to earn his second Olympic slot when he and dive partner Jevon Tarantino compete in 3-meter synchronized. They won the first two lists in the event Thursday and are expected to repeat that showing in the final two lists tonight.
