Diving trio heading for Shanghai

Three NSWIS divers have been selected on the Australian team competing at the 2011 FINA Aquatic World Championships in Shanghai, China.

Alex Croak and Melissa Wu will spearhead Australia’s campaign in the women’s 10m synchronised platform after their winning performance at the recent selection trials. Croak, who finished second in the individual women’s 10m platform at the selection trials, will also compete in the individual event.

Fellow NSWIS athlete Matthew Mitcham has been selected to compete in the men’s 10m platform. Mitcham’s selection is based on recent international results and is subject to a fitness test.

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