“But otherwise, he was great.”

Thad Ellis of Atlanta Diving was second with a 439.00. Moss Farms’s Owen Blank was third with a 423.25. Jacob Russell was sixth with a 381.10.

Helms won his third straight high school state championship on the 1-meter board in February, doing so with a wrist injured during Senior Nationals in August.

Two weeks after the state meet, he had a torn ligament repaired and a ganglion cyst and an unneeded bone in the wrist removed.

Rehab and physical therapy and a mission trip to Liberia kept him out of the water for much of the last three months, but he was able to turn in an outstanding performance on Sunday after deciding to enter just the 1-meter event.

Helms will continue to somewhat limit his competition schedule this summer, steering clear of the tower events, which cause the most stress on the wrist.

Ann Perry Blank had an outstanding meet, winning a gold and a silver medal.

She won the 14-15 girls 3-meter event with a 290.65.

Sloan Brazina of Charles River Diving was second with a 284.35. Moss Farms’ Jillian Braun took the bronze medal with a 270.15.

Ann Perry also took the silver medal on the 1-meter board on Sunday with a 288.10.

Brazina was first with a 294.10. Braun was third in the nine-diver field with a 271.10.

Also on Sunday, Ellis won the 16-18 boys 3-meter event with a 517.25. Owen Blank was fourth with a 417.10 and Russell was fifth with a 389.05.

Elizabeth Ann Kirkland finished a strong meet with a third-place finish on Sunday in the 13-and-under platform event, which was won by Gracia Leydon Mahoney of Charles River Diving with a 208.25.

Kirkland took the gold medal in the 13-and-under 3-meter and was second on the 1-meter springboard.

“She had a first, a second and a third,” Goodman said. “You can’t do much better than that.”
