Carson Tyler finished fourth in the men’s individual springboard final Thursday, his Olympic debut event. Tied as the youngest competitor in the final at 20-years-old, Tyler showed mastery of his low degree of difficulty list, scoring 429.25 points. Tyler will look to take his momentum into the platform event — the final competition on IU’s Olympic schedule — beginning Friday at 4 p.m. ET. The Indiana senior has won the last two NCAA Championships in the event.
Fellow senior Mariah Denigan was part of history, swimming the women’s marathon swimming event in the River Seine Thursday. Denigan finished 16th in unique conditions with a time of 2:06:42.90. She made history in February as the first Hoosier to qualify for an Olympics in open water swimming. Denigan and teammate Katie Grimes were just the third and fourth Americans to represent the United States in the event all-time.
