INDIANAPOLIS --- Four Golden Eagle men reached the podium after their first night of diving, highlighting Thursday night's action at the 2025 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships in Indianapolis. Halfway through the meet, Clarion has now accounted for 10 total All-American finishes – five by the men and five by the women.
 
For the second straight night, the Golden Eagles made up half the podium, as Clarion put four athletes in the top-eight in the Men's 3-Meter Dive. Zakary Kennedy led the way for the team with a third place finish nationally, hitting a Forward 2 ½ Somersault 1 Twist Pike for 58.50 points. That helped him edge out Wayne State's Max Wasiniak, who finished just a half-point behind him in the final standings.
 
The only returner from last year's NCAA Championships was Michael Flamm, who took fifth place with a score of 505.25. He cracked the 60-point barrier twice with two exceptional dives early in his list, including a Back 1 1/2 Somersault 2 1/2 Twist Free on his first dive that netted him 63.0 points. Just behind him was Ethan Coronado, who closed on a high note with an Inward 2 ½ Somersault Tuck on his last dive for 60.75 points. That put him in sixth with a score of 499.50. Rounding out Clarion's podium performers was Corwin Lindeman, who took eighth with a score of 470.25.
 
Earlier in the day, Jack Beattie added another All-American honor for his mantle, and his first since the 2023 Championships. He placed fifth in the consolation final and 12^th overall with a score of 472.00.
 
Also competing on Thursday was senior David Bocci, who took to the pool in two events, the 100 Fly and the 200 Free prelims. Bocci placed 28^th in the field with a time of 48.16 in the 100 Fly, and he later placed 38^th in the 200 Fly with a time of 1:39.53. He will wrap his week tomorrow with the 200 Fly.
