BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana will send seven divers – three men, four women – to the 2024 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships following performances at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships in Louisville, Kentucky.
Competition closed Saturday (March 16) with platform diving as five Hoosiers earned NCAA bids in their third event in as many days. In all, IU tallied 16 NCAA qualifying bids in the three events.
Freshman Ella Roselli became the seventh Hoosier diver to qualify for the national meet this week with her ninth-place finish on platform, within the top-11 cut. The result also means Roselli now qualifies on the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards after having finished top 12 in both events but outside of the automatic qualifying zone.
“What a great finish to the meet,” IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “IU diving’s platform culture really showed up today. Ella was steady all week and used the platform to punch her ticket in all three events.”
Big Ten Champion and junior Skyler Liu showed her skill on the tower as the top qualifier from zone C with a 638.70 score. Liu finished fourth in the event at last year’s NCAA Championships.
Junior Carson Tyler finished first in the men’s event for the third time this week, dominating the event he won at the NCAA meet a year ago. Tyler tallied 845.55 points to win the platform event by 41.25 points. The two-time Big Ten platform champion posted a 457.90 in the prelim alone with a reduced list, yet that score is 19 points shy of his NCAA winning score last season.
Sophomore Maxwell Weinrich finished second on platform with an 801.30 after a solid final session. Junior Quinn Henninger finished seventh with a 681.60. All three Hoosier men qualified for all three events.
“Carson and Max were head and shoulders above the field, and Skyler continues to get stronger as the season goes on,” Johansen said. “Both the men and women are ready for the final meet of the season. I can’t wait to see what they do.”
