NCAA Men’s Championships: Indiana goes 1-2-7 to Dominate 3-Meter Diving<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Indiana Hoosiers knew that if they were going to hang in the team race, diving would be a huge factor.<\/p>\n

On Friday at the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Federal Way, 3-meter diving was a huge factor.<\/p>\n

Indiana placed three in the finals, and nearly went 1-2-3, finishing 1-2-7, led by repeat champion Carson Tyler,<\/strong> and scoring 49 points for the Hoosiers, bringing them back into team contention just behind second-place Cal.<\/p>\n

“We were just kind of trying to rally around each other and motivate each other in the moment,” Tyler said.<\/p>\n

Tyler,<\/strong> the defending champion, started strong and threw down some 9s and a 10 in round four to lead at 319.30, six points ahead of teammate Quentin Henninger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the fifth round, Henninger scored 71 points. on an inward 3 1\/2 somersault tuck.<\/p>\n

Then Tyler did the same dive and got an 81.60 to give him 400.95, a 16-point lead over his teammate going into the final round.<\/p>\n

On his final dive, Tyler was in third and needed a strong dive to earn the win.<\/p>\n

He scored a on the forward 4 1\/2 somersault tuck. He was off on his approach but managed enough to win with a score of 467.45. He needed 65 points and got 66.<\/p>\n

“It is a newer dive and I felt like I needed a good dive. I was super anxious and I got to the end of the board and I was way on the end, but I did my flips, landed on my head and it all worked out,” Tyler said. “This means a lot, especially doing it with these harder dives that will be big moving forward on the international level.”<\/p>\n

Henninger finished with a forward 4 1\/2 somersault tuck and got 81.7 points to put him in second place with 466.15 points.<\/p>\n

“It felt like we were building off of each other the entire meet,” Henninger said. “It felt like a group effort. I felt pretty good. No big misses and that is what I was going for.”<\/p>\n

They weren’t the only Hoosiers having a great day on the boards.<\/p>\n

Maxwell Weinrich<\/strong> finished with a forward 2 1\/2 somersault with two twists in the pike position and nailed it. He finished with 389.20 points to take sixth.<\/p>\n

“I look up to these guys so much. I am so happy to be in a final with them and put up some points for IU,” Weinrich said. “It was a great day. Last year I got in the B final and I was super happy to get in the A final. I was a little juiced up on my fifth-round dive, but all and all it was a good day.”<\/p>\n

Stanford’s Jack Ryan<\/strong> scored 83.60 on the final dive to finish with 457.90, ahead of Texas freshman Jacob Welsh<\/strong> (395.95) and USC’s Shangfei Wang<\/strong> (393.10).<\/p>\n

“That is one of the reasons I started using harder dives. The competition keeps pushing the boundaries and it is cool to see the sport move in that direction,” Tyler said.<\/p>\n
