Carson Tyler (born June 9, 2004) is an American diver who became the third American to qualify at the US Olympic trials in both the men's 10 m platform and 3 m springboard events.[1][2] He is a diver for the Indiana Hoosiers where he has won three NCAA Championships.[3]

Career

[edit]

In 2022, Tyler competed in the world championships where he won a bronze medal in the 10-meter mixed synchronized platform on July 1, where he scored 315.90 points with his partner Delaney Schnell in the final.[4]

In 2024, he qualified for the U.S. Olympic Diving Team, to compete in the men's 10 m platform.[5] He won the men's 10 m trial with a combined score of 965.45 (488.25 in the finals), beating out 2020 Olympian Brandon Loschiavo for the US spot in the event.[6] Later during the Olympic Trials he also qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in the men's 3 m springboard. He finished second in the 3 m, behind fellow Hoosier and 2020 silver medalist Andrew Capobianco. With the 3 m springboard qualification, Tyler became only the third individual to qualify for the US Olympic team in both events, after Greg Louganis and Mark Ruiz, and the first to qualify for both events since 2000.[7] He finished fourth in the 3 m springboard event, with a final score of 429.25.[8]
