The Miami Hurricanes and Purdue Boilermakers have each qualified three divers for the men’s meet as those schools have always been the perennial powers in collegiate diving. The Indiana Hoosiers and Texas Longhorns each qualified two divers as both schools will rely heavily on diving points to reach the team title. The California Golden Bears are the number one swim team in the nation and have qualified one diver for the meet in Connor Callahan.
