“As veterans of this team, I hope we can help guide some of the younger divers as they navigate being on the world stage for the first time. It’s always a privilege to be a part of Team USA, and I’m excited to take on World Championships with this incredible group of athletes."
“I’m looking forward to sharing my experience with some of our newer athletes and continuing to learn from those around me. We have a great group here representing Team USA and the energy in and out of the pool has been awesome. We are excited to continue that as we head into competition.”
The top three teams in each of the Olympic synchronized diving events and the top 12 divers in each of the individual Olympic events will secure quota spots for their countries to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games.
