FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Indiana University senior Amy Cozad came up 20 points shy of an Olympic berth in the women's 10-meter platform on the final day of the USA Diving Olympic Trials in Federal Way, Wash.
The Hoosiers will have representation at the Olympic Games as 2009 NCAA Champion Christina Loukas made her second-straight Olympic team on the women's 3-meter springboard.
Cozad came into today's five-dive final in fourth place with 660.50 points, 43.25 points behind Katherine Bell in second place. Cozad out-scored Bell 343.5-320.65 in the final round, including 76.80 points on her final dive, a back 2 1/2 somersault 1 1/2 twist pike, but it was not enough to catch Bell for the final Olympic spot.
Brittany Viola earned the other Olympic spot in the 10-meter platform, winning the event with 1081.50 points. Bell tallied 1024.40 points, followed by Cozad (1004.00).
Also competing on Sunday was former Hoosier Amy Korthauer, who placed sixth with 939.00 points.
