Tennessee sophomore diver Bennett Greene opened the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships by winning a gold medal Monday at Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center.
A Knoxville, Tennessee native, Greene defeated Texas' Nick Harris by .10 points (400.80-400.70) in the one-meter competition. He became the first Vols' diver to win a gold medal in the one-meter since Liam Stone accomplished the feat in 2017. Both Greene and Stone won a gold medal in Knoxville.
Greene was one of four Tennessee divers to post a top-10 finish Monday.
Freshman Thomas Ciprick, competing in his first SEC Championships, finished fourth as he recorded a score of 366.70. Frazer Tavener came in ninth place for the Vols, recording a score of 335.45 in his conference championship debut. Stone finished in 10th place and had his second career top-10 finish in the SEC Championships. His first was in 2024 with an eighth-place finish.
Owen Redfearn also placed for Tennessee as he finished 25th and helped the Vols score 98 team points during the first day of competition.
