NCAA Men’s Championships: Platform Diving Goes to Perfect 10 Carson Tyler<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much more that Carson Tyler<\/strong> could\u2019ve done with his fifth dive at the NCAA Championships on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Indiana sophomore hit his back three-and-a-half tuck about as good as a diver can be hit \u2013 to the tune of six 10s from the seven judges, with a recalcitrant 9.5 mixed in. The dive supplied Tyler with 99 points and was the signature moment on his NCAA platform title.<\/p>\n

“I think so,” Tyler said, when asked if that was about as good as he could hit that dive. “Judge 6 didn\u2019t think so.”<\/p>\n

No hard feelings ultimately for Tyler, who scored 476.30 points. He took the lead in the fourth round, both he and Bryden Hattie<\/strong> going hit-for-hit down the stretch. But that fifth round was an absolute haymaker by Tyler.<\/p>\n
