David Ekdahl qualified for the NCAA Championships for his performance at the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships. Ekdahl finished in fourth place during the finals on the 1-meter with a score of 709.20. Due to his qualification in the 1-meter, his 11th place finish in the 3-meter also granted the sophomore the ability to compete in both springboard events. The 2022 Sweedish Male Diver of the Year will be one of 50 divers competing on the 1-meter and he will compete as one of 52 divers for the 3-meter crown.
Hubbard will join Ekdahl for back-to-back appearances at the men's NCAA National Championships. The sophomore finished in seventh place in the preliminaries which advanced him to the finals. He needed to move up two spots to punch his ticket to Minnesota. At the event's conclusion, Hubbard was slotted in fifth place with a score of 728.55.
Wuilliez currently holds the 20th best time in the nation (51.70) after his second-place finish in the 100 breaststroke at the Big 12 Championships. The sophomore finished less than a tenth of second from the gold medal. His time earned him a NCAA B-cut and the TCU record in the event.
