2025 Men’s Big Ten Championships

With the NCAA Swimming and Diving championship season upon us, athletes around the country are preparing to put their best foot forward in effort to stand atop the podium. 2025 is the first year we see conference realignment take full effect, and these conference championship meets are now harder and more competitive than ever. The addition of USC this year is sure to bolster the level of competition in the Big Ten. Diving is already notoriously difficult to predict, but the hope is that this article will give viewers a few key standouts to look out for and a good idea of what to expect this week.

Men’s 1 Meter Picks

Other Contenders: Andrew Bennett (Minnesota), Clayton Chaplin (Ohio State), Joshua Sollenberger (Indiana), Zachary Welsh (Purdue)

The Big Ten is the most competitive conference in the NCAA for men’s diving, so the fight for these medals will be tough, and world-class dives will be needed to win any of these events. Southern California’s newcomer Moritz Wesemann is already one of the best springboard divers in the world, making the three meter final at the Paris Olympics. Wesemann is extremely strong and able to launch himself high in the air off the board, which makes a big impression especially on the one meter. Indiana’s duo of Quinn Henninger and Carson Tyler can always be expected to finish towards the top and will provide crucial points for their team as IU looks to lock up the Big Ten team title.

Men’s 3 Meter Picks

Other Contenders: Cameron Gammage (Michigan), Laurent Gosselin-Paradis (USC), Maxwell Miller (Purdue), Zachary Welsh (Purdue)

This field contains two of the three meter finalists from the Paris Olympics, but my choice for the champion is U.S. Olympic team alternate, Quinn Henninger. His teammate, Carson Tyler is probably the most consistent diver in the nation, but doesn’t have as high difficulty overall as some of his other competitors here. The senior, Henninger, will look to use his high difficulty dives for redemption and to catapult himself to the top of the leaderboard. Wesemann, the German native, has the highest difficulty of the entire field, but isn’t quite as clean as the Indiana duo.

Men’s Platform Picks

Other Contenders: Clayton Chaplin (Ohio State), Braylon Goodno (Minnesota), Robert Gref (USC), Kaden Springfield (Purdue)

This platform event should be an exciting showdown for the final diving title of the competition. Carson Tyler has the potential to be really clean and rack up the 10’s on this event, which is what ultimately drove me to pick him as the projected champion. Purdue’s Jordan Rzepka is also expected to be in the mix if he can manage to hit all his dives, and his high difficulty will definitely help him out. Bennett, Wills, and Weinrich are also sure to make a solid run in the final if they dive to their potential.
