The Saddleback men's swim and dive team currently sits in 15th place through two days at the state finals in Northern California. Diver Jeff Rebrukh has been the catalyst so far and earned his second medal on Friday.
Rebrukh opened the meet with a fifth place finish on Thursday in the 3-meter diving competition with a score of 181.85 points. He improved on that number on Friday when he finished fourth in the 1-meter dive with a total of 202.25. As a result of finishing in the top-8 at the state finals, Rebrukh earned All-America honors in both events. It was the second straight year of finishing in the top-8 in both events after finishing sixth in both events last year.
