Cash enters the NCAA Championships as the current ACC Champion on both the 3-meter and the platform. Cash became the first Pitt diver to win an ACC title since 2017 and shattered school records in both the 3-meter and the platform. Cash also broke the Princeton facility record at the NCAA Diving Zone Championships.
Reed secured two silver medals in the 1-meter and the 3-meter and now has the second most medals won by a Panther at the ACC Championships in their career with four total medals. Fraser and Salisbury will make their first NCAA appearances. Fraser will compete on all three events while Salisbury will compete on platform.
Goncharov was selected to compete in the 100 back and was invited to the 50 and 100 free competitions. This will be Goncharov's second appearance at the NCAA Championships after competing in the 400 free relay last year as a freshman. The Tosno, Russia native crushed the 100 back school record at ACC Championships – placing fourth overall with his time of 45.44.
Matteazzi put his name on the Psych Sheet for the 400 IM after securing the 25th time in the country (3:42.38). He was also invited to compete in the 200 IM and 200 breast. At the 2024 ACC Championships, the Vincenza, Italy native secured the silver medal in the 400 IM after finishing with his time of 3:42.38.
