The USA Diving 2016 Olympic Team Trials came to a close on June 26. Ten American divers have officially earned their spots and are headed to Rio. Who are the men and women competing for Team USA?
Sam Dorman was the 2015 NCAA Champion on 3m for the University of Miami where he majored in mechanical engineering. He has a vizsla dog named Hank, and is a specialty chef when it comes to eggs. He’s a six-time national champion. Four of his national titles are in 3m synchro, the event he’s headed to Rio for with his partner Michael Hixon.
Hixon is a Massachusetts native attending Indiana University. He’s was the 2014 NCAA champion on 1m and 3m. He hopes to a diving coach one day, following his mom’s example. She has been the diving coach at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for 15 years. Hixon isn’t the only Hoosier diver headed to Rio, his teammates Jessica Parratto and Amy Cozad made the team for 10m synchro.
Success in the pool also runs in the family for Parratto, her mom was a five-time all-american diver at Wellesley College, and her dad coached Jenny Thompson, Olympic gold medalist swimmer. Parratto will be competing in 10m synchro as well as the individual 10m event.
