COLUMBIA, Mo. - The North Carolina diving team wrapped up a successful week of competition at the 2021 Mizzou Invitational Friday night. The Tar Heels won four of the five events in which they competed with Aranza Vazquez and Anton Down-Jenkins each winning two events.

Montano picked up her second victory in three days, following Wednesday's 1-meter title with a platform win. She also claimed the bronze medal in the 3-meter on Thursday after she posted the highest preliminary score.

Jenkins swept the men's springboard events winning both the 1 and 3-meter competition by wide margins. He finished 66.15 points ahead of fellow Tar Heel Alexander Hunt in the 1-meter and 39.00 points in front of Missouri's Carlo Lopez in the 3-meter.
