Meaghan Benfeito, Francois Imbeau-Dulac top field at winter nationals
VICTORIA — Meaghan Benfeito survived a mistake on her final dive to win the women’s 10-metre event, and Francois Imbeau-Dulac’s consistency’s carried him to victory in the men’s three-metre final at the winter nationals diving competition on Sunday.
Imbeau-Dulac, of St-Lazare, Que., posted 476.65 points to finish ahead of Philippe Gagne of Montreal at 440.05 and Cedric Fofana of Quebec City at 428.60 in second and third, respectively.
“I couldn’t be happier to start off a new season like this,” said Imbeau-Dulac, a 2012 Olympian.
“I never expected to get these kinds of scores. I can’t pinpoint one dive I was most happy. It was just my overall consistency.”
