Purdue divers Avery Worobel and Holden Higbie swept the Big Ten’s weekly diving honors after strong performances helped the Boilermakers extend their season-opening run to 10 event wins in four meets. Worobel won three springboard events over the weekend; Higbie claimed the 3-meter title in his season debut with a team-best 410-point list.

By the Numbers
  • Purdue divers have won 10 of 10 events across the first 4 meets.
  • Worobel won 3 events over the weekend and has 4 wins in 5 events this season.
  • Higbie scored 410 points on 3-meter, a team season best.
  • Worobel won her Iowa City events by 27 points on 1-meter and 58 on 3-meter.
Yes, But

Purdue’s success was not limited to the two weekly honorees: Lucy Dovison earned her first collegiate victory, and Nathaniel Grannis also won an event at the home opener.

What’s Next

Purdue hosts Oakland for a two-day dual meet this weekend, with Louisville’s divers also competing. Diving events are scheduled for Friday’s 5 p.m. session.

Bottom Line

The honors recognize a Purdue diving squad producing wins across the roster—not just standout performances from Worobel and Higbie.
