The second place finish is the best ever for a male diver and earned Bonuchi his third All-America of the championships and fifth overall.

The Tigers finished in 19th place overall with 46 points.

Bonuchi scored 402.70 points in the afternoon preliminary session, entering the finals competition in sixth place. In the night session, the sophomore scored 456.00 points to take national runner-up honors.
