GEMMA McArthur was crowned British National champion in the senior women's 10m platform event.

The Southampton Diving Academy star totalled a massive 310.80 points at Plymouth - which would have given her fifth place in the men's event.

McArthur will now travel to Canada to represent Great Britain in the Senior Grand Prix, and also achieved the qualification score to represent Scotland at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

She was one of an eight-strong team from Southampton competing in Devon.

Opting to focus on the Men's 3m springboard rather than the 1m, Thomas Bailey finished 15th in his first appearance in this competition.

Cameron Gammage was eighth in the preliminaries, which took him through to the finals against very strong opposition which included four Olympians and a host of GB International divers. He remained in eighth position, taking silver in the junior event.

In the Women's 3m Springboard event, Lucy Hawkins was 12th, again beating several international divers.

In the same event as McArthur won, Tanya Watson performed a lovely opening dive which scored her a whopping 57.6 marks. Battling an injury to her shoulder, she struggled on her fourth dive, a back two and a half somersault from the 7.5m, which cost her a place in the finals, but she still managed 10th place in the senior event.

Hawkins was seventh place in the preliminaries, and eighth in the final.

Emily Martin was second in the prelims including a huge 63 points for her forward 3.5 somersault with poise from the 10m.

Martin didn’t score below a seven throughout her five dives in the final and got a huge 76.80 for her inwards 3.5 somersaults from the 10m.

She finished third in the senior event and first in the juniors. Martin will now represent Great Britain in a Junior International event in Dresden.

A below-par Max Cott finished 1Mens 10m Platform event, no Tom Daley this year as he focused on mixed synchro, but Rio Olympic Bronze medalist (10m mens synchro) Dan Goodfellow was in action, along with Commonwealth divers Matthew Dixon and Matty Lee so the 4 Southampton men had their work cut out.

Thomas Bailey (11th), Brandon Foster (12th) and Max Cott (13th) failed to qualify from the prelims in the men's 10m platform event.

Gammage, 14, did qualify, though, after finishing seventh - a position he kept in the final. As a result, he is also off to Dresden alongside Martin.
