Dyer led the preliminary round with a score of 387.55. Following him in the final round was Luke Stiz of SMU with a score of 495.3 and Moritz Wesemann of USC with a score of 485.85, making his victory over some of the nation's best substantial.
During his 2025 season, Dyer was named an All-American honorable mention for the one-meter dive, also qualifying for the NCAA Championships in that event. He was also named an NCAA All-American for the one-meter dive during the 2024 season, while also winning a silver medal in the event.
In the pool, junior Jan Zubik broke a school record in the 200 fly. He finished with a time of 1:39.92, finishing No. 10 overall.
Events at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships came to a conclusion on Saturday.
