Arkansas’ Brooke Schultz took gold in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard Saturday in her third international event in as many months at the 2017 Junior Pan American Championships in Victoria, Canada.

Representing the United States, Schultz recorded a nine-dive score of 409.95 on the 1-meter for her first gold of the championships. She outscored the rest of the field by at least 28.8 points.

She also took home the gold on the 3-meter, with a nine-dive score of 437.85, outscoring the rest of the field by 13.05 points.

“I am excited for Brooke to have the opportunity to close out her junior diving career on such a high note,” said Dale Schulz, Arkansas' diving coach and Brooke's father. “Brooke has continued to make improvements to her diving and represented both the United States of America and the Razorbacks at a high level internationally.”
