Cook and Walstad Lead Tigers at Trinity Diving Invitational

San Antonio - The Trinity Diving Invitational was won by the University of Wyoming on Friday afternoon, as the visiting school captured all four diving events.

Trinity was led by All-American Ryan Cook and Lauren Walstad.  Cook was third in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events.  Walstad was fifth on the 3-meter board and seventh on the 1-meter board.  First-year Lindsay Martin was sixth in the 1-meter.

Walstad was the 2006 SCAC Diver of the Year, while Cook - who has earned All-American honors in each of his first two collegiate seasons - earned the SCAC's top award as a first-year in 2005. 

Wyoming's John Lynch won both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards on the men's side, while two Cowgirls took the women's events.  Brittany Wainwright won the 3-meter competition, while Saara Haapanen took the 1-meter crown.  Lynch's wins were even more special in this event, as the Wyoming senior is from San Antonio, and attended high school at Health Careers.

Trinity will next host the Tiger Swimming & Diving Invitational Jan. 19-20.
