WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – While their teammates compete in the swimming events in Evanston the weekend of Jan. 30-31 at the annual Big Ten Triple Duals, the Purdue Divers are now slated to host the meet's diving events at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
Purdue head diving coach David Boudia announced the schedule update, which was agreed upon so the meet could feature platform diving.
The Big Ten Triple Duals is a longstanding two-day meet featuring Minnesota, Northwestern and Purdue, with the host aquatic center rotating between the three. Northwestern’s Norris Aquatics Center is hosting again this year but does not feature a platform diving tower.
