A pair of Indiana Hoosiers will represent the United States in the men’s 3m springboard competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Andrew Capobianco, a silver medalist in the synchro springboard at the Tokyo Games three years ago, won the individual springboard event at the U.S. Olympic Diving Team Trials with a total score of 971.80.

His IU training partner, Carson Tyler, finished second to complete a Trials performance that will go down in American diving history.

Earlier at the Trials, Capobianco, alongside partner Quentin Henninger, narrowly missed out on the lone Olympic spot in the synchro competition, finishing just 2.37 points behind the duo of Tyler Downs and Greg Duncan. 

But Capobianco, even with a bad miss on his fourth dive of the final, was in a class of his own to become a two-time Olympic team member. 

“I was just trying to be in the moment and not get ahead of myself too much,” Capobianco, 24, said. “Really great to be able to battle it out with [Tyler] and so proud of him.”

Tyler, the only diver within 100 points of Capobianco’s total, accomplished a feat no American man had achieved in 24 years. The 20-year-old, who 24 hours earlier won the men’s 10m platform competition, will dive on both platform and springboard at the same Olympics this summer, becoming the first U.S. male diver to do so since Mike Ruiz at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

“I guess I surprised myself today and this week,” Tyler said. “I really just came in here [to Trials] without too many expectations… and I was so happy with how it turned out.”

Capobianco and Tyler will train alongside each other ahead of the Paris Games in Bloomington under the guidance of IU diving coach Drew Johansen, who also served as the coach of the U.S. diving team at the last three Olympics.
