The 2021 US Olympic Trials in Diving are taking place this week in Indianapolis and a pair of current/former Minnesota Gophers are trying to earn a spot to Toyko on the US squad. Four-time NCAA Champion Sarah Bacon will have two opportunities to try and win a spot on the US team this week while Gopher men’s diver Jake Butler will try and earn his spot in one event.
Sarah Bacon is the former Gopher with the best chance to make it to the Olympics. The four-time NCAA Champion will have two chances to earn her spot, in the three meter synchro event with her partner Kassidy Cook, and individually in the three meter springboard.
