Andy Bradley Joins Wilcock at Diving Nationals

PALO ALTO -- Freshman Andy Bradley will join Justin Wilcock in the NCAAs. After the final day of competition on Saturday, Bradley was able to pick up one of the final two spots for the NCAAs for his fourth place finish in the 3-meter on Thursday.
Justin Wilcock earned his second automatic bid for the NCAAs for his second place finish in the platform on Saturday, but the news of the day belonged to freshman Andy Bradley. Two-time All-American Aaron Russell failed to make the cut for the first time in his collegiate career.
Wilcock will be making his second appearance at nationals. The MWC Diver of the Year qualified as a freshman, but failed to make a return trip in his sophomore year coming off an LDS mission. Bradley will be making his first appearance at nationals and has come a long way since winning a high school state championship in Virginia last year.
Other notable performance on in the final day of competition went to senior Viraj Pail, who finished sixth in the platform with a score of 448.65.
