The First African-American National Champion In USA Diving History

CBSSports.com wire reported that, along with his victory in Men’s 1m Springboard at the USA Diving Winter National Championships last week, Michael Wright also became the first black diver to win a national title.

According to Meet Control at DiveMeets.com, Wright took an early lead in the first rounds of the final event (Photo from AP Photo via DayLife.com) doing a 2 1/2 tuck list doubling up on twisters. The Winter National title is a big improvement over Wright’s 6th place finish at last summer’s AT&T; National Diving Championship.

Michael Wright dives for Tennessee and is currently redshirting the 2009-2010 season.
