AUBURN, Ala. – The University of Florida men's diving team returned to the James E. Martin Aquatic Center on Wednesday. Lyle Hayes-Macaluso paced the Gators as he placed fourth on the platform and achieved a career high on the last day of the Auburn Invite.

Hayes-Macaluso finished with a career-high score of 327.55 on the platform and is the best by a Gator this season. His fourth-place mark was an NCAA Zone qualifying score.

Alex Farrow collected 243.05 points, nearly tying his personal best of 244.35, as he placed eighth.

Nick Lydon accumulated a score of 240.80 and placed ninth.

Santiago Morales notched 206.10 points and picked up an 11th place finish.

From the coaches – Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly

"The men's team is still very young, but freshman Nick Lydon continues to show dramatic improvement each week. He led the team in both springboard events and is really getting comfortable with his lists."
"The highlight on platform was Lyle hitting his Zone score with an outstanding performance."
"I am very proud of these guys and I look forward to seeing them continue to improve this season and beyond."
