Sylvania's Colturi takes first place medal in British diving competition

6/20/2007

Sylvania diver David Colturi brought home a first place medal from the British Elite

Junior Nationals in Sheffield, England, earlier this month.

Colturi, a recent graduate of St. John s Jesuit, teamed up with Sean Moore to win the 3-meter synchro event at the elite meet on June 1.

Colturi, who earned a diving scholarship to Purdue University, also took third in the

1-meter, was fourth in the 10-meter platform and second in the 3-meter.

I was both angry and happy, Colturi said. I had won every single preliminary event. But that doesn t really matter. I guess I just wasn t feeling as good in the finals.
