LOS ANGELES, CALIF -

One of the top stories for the 2012-13 California men's swimming and diving team so far this season is the performance of freshman diver Collin Pollard, who continued his fine season by placing second in the one-meter competition Friday (Jan. 11) at the Bruin Diving Invitational in Los Angeles.

Pollard, who hails from San Jose and whose brother, Justin, lettered as a Golden Bear swimmer in 2007 and 2008, trailed only Arizona's Rafael Quintero (647.45) Friday with a score of 603.10. He had compiled a score of 307.55 in the prelims.

Pollard has already established himself as one of Cal's top divers, winning the one-meter competition in the Bears' Nov. 3 dual meet victory over Wisconsin at Spieker Aquatics Complex with a score of 343.73.

Other results for Todd Mulzet's divers included junior Tyler Pullen finishing 11th with a score of 518.50 have a score of 257.55 in the prelims. Freshman Peter Cyr was 13th with a mark of 508.15 (251.25 prelims), sophomore Thomas Selby placed 14th with a score of 497.80 (254.15 prelims) and junior Grayson Huston was 16th with a score of 480.35 (235.15 prelims).
