Georgia’s own Carson Tyler will head to Paris to compete in the men’s 3-meter and 10-meter platform after earning the spots at the U.S. Olympic Diving trials on Saturday and Sunday.

Tyler — who is from Moultrie and graduated from Colquitt County High School — becomes the first American since 2000 to qualify in both individual events.

Having already earned a spot with a victory on the big tower Saturday, Tyler added the springboard to his Paris program by finishing second to Andrew Capobianco at the University of Tennessee aquatics center.
