NCAA Men’s Championships: Texas A&M’s Emilio Trevino Wins Platform Title
Texas A&M was close to a platform title last year with two divers in the top four. It took a new face to get them over the top.
Emilio Trevino earned the program’s first NCAA platform title Saturday night, his score of 465.30 topping the field at the NCAA Championships in Atlanta.
Purdue’s Tyler Wills was second with a score of 451.15, with Jesus Gonzalez of Florida third.
A year ago, Texas A&M’s Jaxon Bowshire finished second as a freshman, with senior Rhett Hensley fourth. Bowshire qualified for NCAAs at Zones, but the Australian international did not compete.
That opened the door for Trevino, a Mexican international. He’s the first Texas A&M diver to win a title since Kurtis Mathews did the springboard double in 2022 and the program’s first platform NCAA champion.
Trevino was just seventh in prelims, making the final by less than three points, with Gonzalez leading the way with a score of 435.05.
No matter, since Trevino scored 465.30 to best Wills and Gonzalez at night. Gonzalez was third with 427.25. Carson Paul of LSU was fourth in 404.20. Misha Andriyuk, the only holdover from the top eight last year after he finished eighth as a freshman, was fifth for Stanford.
Trevino had been 32nd on 3-meter and didn’t contest 1-meter.
Paul, a senior, makes it four straight top-10 finishes on platform: He was ninth last year and as a freshman and sixth in 2024.
Joshua Thai of Cal likewise wraps up a stellar career in sixth. He was 10th in 2024 and 14th in 2023, around a perplexing 40th last year. USC’s Laurent Gosselin-Paradis was seventh; he had been 11th each of the last two years.
Bennett Greene of Tennessee got into the A final and finished eighth. He’s the only scorer on all three boards, having finished third on 1-meter and eighth on three-meter.
Gonzalez led the way in prelims. Second was Andriyuk, with Bennett third. Wills was the only other swimmer to crack 400 points.
Purdue had two B finalists. Indiana finally got its first diving scorer, Maxwell Weinrich finishing 13th. He had been 10th last year and the runner-up in 2024.
