—Current Gamecocks diver Julia Vincent will compete for South Africa in the 3m springboard event on Friday, August 12. Vincent, who will be a junior, qualified by winning the 3m event in the South African Olympic Trials. Collegiately, she placed 4th in the NCAA 1m dive, just short of bronze media honors.
—Fellow junior Akaram Mahmoud, from Egypt, qualified for the 400m and 1500m freestyle. Although he fell well short of advancing in the 400m event, he will have a chance in the 1500m on Friday. Mahmoud grabbed a silver medal in the NCAA 1650m freestyle this past spring.
