WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue will be well represented among the nation's best with seven Boilermakers competing in the 3-meter and 10-meter events as the USA Diving National Championships returns as a spring showcase from a four-year hiatus.
Action is set for Thursday, May 18 to Wednesday, May 24 at West Virginia's The Aquatic Center at Mylan Park. Purdue's representatives are not slated to compete on Saturday. WVU's facility also hosted the USA Diving Winter Nationals in December. In the 10-meter events, Jordan Rzepka won gold and Daryn Wright claimed bronze.
The USA Diving National Championships is being held in May for the first time since 2019. The U.S. Olympic Team Trials in June 2021 was the last senior nationals meet held in the late spring.
The weeklong national showcase will serve as USA Diving's qualifier for the World Aquatics Championships (July 14-30 in Fukuoka, Japan) and Pan American Games (Oct. 20-Nov. 5 in Santiago, Chile). The World Championships will be the first opportunity for countries to secure quota spots for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Scores are cumulative across the semifinals and finals (prelims and finals for synchro), resetting to zero for those that advance from the preliminary round. In the individual events, the top 18 advance to the semifinals and top 12 to the finals.

Olympian and five-time NCAA champion Steele Johnson is slated to compete for the first time since reinjuring his foot in the 3-meter synchro semifinal at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials two years ago. He's entered in 10-meter synchro and has not competed from the tower since the 2019 USA Diving Winter Nationals.
Brandon Loschiavo's victory on 10-meter headlined Purdue's week at the 2019 USA Diving National Championships the last time the meet was held. He went on to win on the tower again two years later to become an Olympian. Johnson joined Loschiavo on the podium in both 10-meter events four years ago, winning silver in synchro and bronze individually. Sophie McAfee, Daryn Wright and Jordan Rzepka all competed – and were finalists – at nationals in May 2019 long before enrolling at Purdue. Incoming Boilermaker Maxwell Miller also competed on the springboards as a 13-year-old.
