BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming and diving sophomore Carson Tyler earned his first Big Ten Diver of the Week award this season after his showing in IU’s win over Purdue, the conference office announced on Wednesday (Jan. 25).
The honor marks Tyler’s fourth-career weekly honor as he was named diver of the week twice and freshman of the week once during his debut season in 2021-22. Tyler is the third different IU men’s diver to earn the award this season, following redshirt senior Andrew Capobianco last week and fellow sophomore Quinn Henninger twice previously. Between swimming and diving, the Hoosiers have totaled 12 Big Ten weekly awards over four different cycles.
Tyler won the men’s platform diving competition on Saturday as IU divers won three of four events contested in men’s and women’s team dual meet victories at Purdue. The sophomore showed consistency in his performance with all six dives earning at least 60 points, including four dives worth at least 70 points. His six-dive total score of 423.80 sits as the best mark in the country this season. His teammate, Henninger, holds the second-best mark at 416.55, scored at the Ohio State Invitational.
Tyler also placed fourth on the 1-meter springboard, scoring 342.95 points.
Tyler and IU swimming and diving will compete in their final regular season meet on Friday (Jan. 27), traveling to face No. 16/7 Louisville. The dual meet is set to begin at 2 p.m. ET and can be streamed on ACC Network+.
