Although the odds are long, IU remains in the hunt at the NCAA men’s swimming and diving championships going into the final day of action on Saturday.
Indiana remains third in the team standings through three nights with 304 points, 8.5 points from second-place Cal and 64 points out of first place.
Here’s the full release from IU Athletics on Friday’s results from Washington.
—————————————-
Indiana swimming and diving captured its third consecutive 3-meter diving title, as senior Carson Tyler repeated as national champion in a one-two finish with classmate Quinn Henninger on Friday (March 28) night at the 2025 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships inside the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.
IU’s diving program continued its national excellence with its second championship in two days after Henninger won the 1-meter title the night before. Indiana has captured multiple diving titles at each of the last three NCAA Championships and has the chance to complete just the second-ever three-event sweep Saturday with the platform.
The diving final delivered on drama just as Tyler and Henninger delivered on their dives. Tyler put down the dive of the night in the fourth round, earning one ’10’ on his reverse 3 ½ somersaults tuck, scoring a total of 99.75 points. Henninger was the picture of consistency, his lowest scoring dive earning 71.40 points.
It came down to the final dive with Tyler needing 65.20 points to surpass his teammate from a 3.8 degree-of-difficulty forward 4 ½ somersaults tuck. But Tyler came off the left side of the board, and the audience let out an audible gasp as he hurdled diagonally. Yet, the veteran managed to complete his 4 ½ somersaults and minimize his splash. Scores ranging from 5.0-6.5 weren’t flashy, but they added up to a 66.50 on the scoreboard – and Tyler outscored Henninger 467.45 to 466.15.
Junior Maxwell Weinrich finished seventh in the event, and diving contributed 49 points from the 3-meter event. Indiana divers are responsible for 78 of Indiana’s 304 points this meet.
“Carson, Quinn and Max were dialed in when we arrived for our wake up dive at 7 a.m. this morning,” IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “I could see it in the way they walked into the pool.
The last two rounds tonight had so much drama. All three were using new dives and pushing the limits to challenge each other and the entire field. We have had many days like this in practice this season. Today was Carson’s day to win, yesterday it was Quinn’s. I Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring.”
Indiana had another point balloon in the 100-yard breaststroke with six Hoosiers between the two finals. Seniors Jassen Yep (50.89) and Josh Matheny (50.95) and graduate transfer Brian Benzing (50.99) took the top three spots in the consolation final, with senior Luke Barr (51.43) finishing 15th. That gave way to the championship heat, where senior Finn Brooks (50.50) placed fourth in front of grad transfer Caspar Corbeau (50.62).
The Hoosiers made it seven consecutive top five finishes in the 400-yard medley relay, placing fifth in 2:59.73 – the third-fastest time in program history. Junior Matt King’s 40.56 freestyle split highlighted Indiana’s race, coming as the third-best anchor in the field.
“It’s a fantastic three-team battle here at the NCAA Championships,” IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “It’s going to come down to the last day! We have our best session in front of us, and I am confident our men will come out with their best effort tomorrow.”
