NSWIS divers Alex Croak and Melissa Wu have all but secured their selection on the Australian diving world championship team after winning the women’s 10m synchro platform at the 2011 Australian Selection Trials over the weekend.

Croak and Wu combined to win gold ahead of Brittany Broben and Annabelle Smith, tallying 318.54 to win gold and likely selection on the team competing at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships.

The NSWIS duo then competed in the individual women’s 10m platform, where they were upstaged by youngster Broben who won gold. Croak finished with silver and Wu with bronze, however the final spots on the Australian team are still to be determined.

Fellow NSWIS athletes Matthew Mitcham and Scott Robertson did not compete due to injury. The final team is scheduled to be announced on Wednesday June 8 2011.

The 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships take place in Shanghai, China from July 16-31 2011.
