Here is more from the U.S. diving team:

Troy Dumais, a two-time Olympian and a graduate of Buena High School in Ventura, extended his lead in the 3-meter event of the Olympic Trials in Indianapolis on Friday.
He has a 77.30 point lead over Chris Colwill of Athens, Ga. The finals of the 3-meter diving trials are Saturday at 12:30 and will be televised on Channel 4.
"I stayed within the competition. Hats off to my coach (Matt Scoggin). We trained well for this event," Dumais said after the event on Friday night. "He does a great job of picking me up when I'm down, and leveling me off when I need it. That's what we have coaches for, and Matt is doing a phenomenal job."
Scoggin was on the 1992 U.S. Olympic diving team that competed in Barcelona, Spain.
"It's always nice to have an Olympic coach," Dumais said. "That's what separates the good from the great. He can bring in his emotions and feelings. That's one thing Matt has done a great job of. He wants what's best for everyone else. We have never had a better relationship."
