NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – More than 200 AAU divers took the plunge to compete for the title of nation’s best at the 2020 AAU Diving National Championships hosted by the Forest Park Aquatic Center in Noblesville, Indiana, about 30 minutes north of Indianapolis.

Several athletes won multiple events in the competition, highlighted by Ryden Russell from Ohio State Diving Club, who took home four gold medals, winning the Group D Boys 3M, Tower as well as the 13U 3M synchronized with Leyton Dean and the 13 1M synchronized with Jackson Monus.
Complete results for the 61 different events are available here.
Due to the national health pandemic causing strains on practice time for many divers across the country, the qualifications for the 2020 AAU Diving National Championships were waived and participants were entered at their coaches’ discretion. This allowed the event to continue at a competitive level with strict safety procedures in place at the facility.
