Steve Paska feels his team is right where they should be at this point in the season.
Our motto is to try to improve consistently meet in and meet out, and try to make significant improvements in terms of the small things like getting off the blocks, said Paska.
Terra Whisman was a highlight for the Bird divers as she took first-place on the 1-meter board with a score of 249.9 and second on the 3-meter with a score of 233.2, behind teammate Krystal Featherston who won the event.
Redbird diving coach Laura Segerlin believes her divers are performing right on track.
Were moving along at an average pace as far as building up steam, said Segerlin. They showed great enthusiasm for their team and sport, and theyre doing great.
The Birds will have a break from dual meet action, and will be heading to Akron, Ohio December 5-7, when they compete in the Akron Invitational.
