HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. (WTVD) -- Holly Springs diver Andrew Capobianco won silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

Capobianco and his partner Michael Hixon placed just behind China in the men's 3-meter synchronized springboard.

It's Capobianco's first Olympic medal--a dream he's had since he started diving at 11 years old.

The 21-year-old and his family moved from New York to Holly Springs when he was 13. Capobianco is now a student at Indiana University.

Capobianco has one more chance at earning some hardware in Tokyo. He will compete in the 3-meter individual springboard competition next week.
