Steele Johnson pushed through his ankle injury, which kept him out of competition for a whole 12 weeks, by securing a win on the 3-meter board for Purdue with a score of 499.35.
Johnson, during the final moments, changed his dive list to increase his degree of difficulty, enabling him to earn enough points for the win ahead of Tennessee’s Colin Zeng who scored 495.15 for second. Taking third was last night’s 1-meter champion, Indiana’s Michael Hixon, who scored 481.15.
Rounding out the A final with 381.60 points was Indiana freshman Andrew Capobian.
Winning the B final was Penn State’s Hector Garcia with 406.85 points.
