Brooke Schultz picked up her second silver medal in as many events on Friday in Lima, Peru, at the 2019 Pan American Games, diving to second place in the 1-meter springboard.

One day after earning a silver medal alongside Sarah Bacon in the synchronized 3-meter springboard, the Americans squared off as individuals and rallied late to take the top two spots on the podium with Bacon taking gold.

Schultz entered round four in fifth place with two dives remaining. The rising Arkansas junior scored a 62.40 to vault into second place thanks to a reverse 1.5 with 1.5 twists on her fourth dive.

She turned in an inward 1.5 pike to put 57.40 points on the board. But after finishing ninth in preliminaries, she was forced to sit through eight more divers — including three of the top divers — before knowing she had earned her second sliver of the games.

“It was very close. I didn’t realize how close it was until the last round,” Schultz said afterwards to USA Diving. “It’s a bit of a relief once you see scores pop up. That waiting – maybe she did, maybe she didn’t – you don’t really know until the scores pop up so definitely really exciting. It’s always interesting to have a close competition.”

Schultz will compete in one final event in Peru when she steps up to the individual 3-meter springboard.

Brooke Schultz earned a silver medal for Team USA in the synchronized 3M springboard alongside Sarah Bacon at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru with a total score of 290.10.

Despite not having been partners for very long, the duo performed at a high level to finish second in the event joining Canada (gold) and Mexico (bronze) on the podium.

The pair opened with a a forward dive in a pike position in the first round with a score of 48.00 to sit in a tie for first. A 45.00 on a reverse dive in a pike position, however, dropped the Americans out of first but a 66.60 on a front dive with two and a half somersaults and a twist in a pike position put the team back into the mix for a podium finish.

A fourth-round dive of 67.50 on a back dive with two and a half somersaults in a pike position vaulted the duo into second before a 63.00 on an inward dive with two and a half somersaults in a pike position on their final dive sealed the silver medal finish.

“It feels great,” Schultz said afterwards. “We came into this event to have fun and to walk away with a medal and represent the U.S. well. It’s definitely exciting.”

Schultz returns to action on Friday in the 1M springboard as an individual and continues with the individual 3M springboard beginning on Sunday.
