Sheehy, Sullivan take home synchronized diving title on day one of WPI Invite

SMITHFIE_­LD, R.I. – The Bryant University men's swimming and diving team opened up the WPI Invitational on Friday night in Worcester, Mass.

The Bulldogs competed in the 800 free relay, the 1650 free and 1-meter dive. Only the 1-meter dive was officially scored because teams still have to compete in the relay and 1650 on Saturday.

Friday's 1-meter dive was a bit different as the teams competed in a synchronized diving event like they do in the Olympics. Ryan Sheehy (West Newbury, Mass.) and Kevin Sullivan (East Lyme, Conn.) teamed up to win the event with a score of 161.85.

Day two begins on Saturday at 8:00 am.
