SASI divers post best results in a decade

SASI divers collected three medals in Brisbane at the Open Championships, breaking a long drought between trips to the podium. An open medal was last won by a resident SASI athlete in 2001.

Samantha Mills took the bronze medal in the 1M springboard, largely based on a solid reverse 2 1/2 somersaults - a high difficulty dive. Mills followed up with a gold medal in the synchronised event, teaming with Esther Qin of NSWIS. "It was Sammy's first ever synchro event, and she's teamed with the women's national champion, so the future in synchronised diving looks promising," said SASI coach Mike Martens.

Jocelyn Burnett took the bronze medal in the platform event. "The performance was was good enough to get on the podium and that is a great confidence boost for Jocey. She has some dd to add to her list. When that is solid, she will be a real player in Australia.

Both divers were named to the Glasgow Squad. Matthew Barnard who did not compete due to injury, was named to the Development Squad.
