Texas-Ex Troy Dumais secures his second top-five finish in as many events this week in Shanghai.
Troy Dumais claimed a fifth-place finish in the men's three-meter diving event Friday evening at the 2011 FINA World Championships.
The three-time U.S. Olympian took fifth place with 479.95 points. Dumais totaled a meet-best 91.80 points on his second dive, a forward two-and-a-half somersault with two twists.
China's He Chong won the gold with 554.30 points. Russia's Ilya Zakharov and Evegeny Kuznetsov claimed the silver and bronze medals with 508.95 points and 493.55 points, respectively.
Dumais will join current Texas divers Drew Livingston, Shelby Cullinan and Diana Wilcox next month at the U.S. National Championships.
