INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Christina Loukas saved her best for last, earning mostly 9s on her final dive to increase her commanding lead in the 3-meter springboard semifinals at the U.S. Olympic trials Thursday night.
Loukas led by nearly 30 points after the morning preliminaries, and she was even stronger in the evening session, when the scores carried over. She totaled 729.85 points, well ahead of second-place Nancilea Foster (681.40).
Victoria Ishimatsu, whose sister Haley is second in the 10-meter platform competition, was fifth.
