Just one month after posting his best international finish at the FINA World Championships, Nick McCrory returned to the pool last week to win gold at the USA Diving National Championships in Los Angeles.
The rising Blue Devil junior finished sixth in Shanghai, China, at the FINA World Championships.
McCrory, the two-time defending NCAA platform diving champion, led the field after both the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds by scoring over 90 points on his first three dives.
“Fortunately I was able to recover from worlds and get ready for nationals,” McCrory told GoDuke.com. “I was feeling a little fatigued today, but I’m glad I competed.”
Earlier in the week, McCrory and Boudia withdrew from the 10-meter synchronized platform competition after the latter cited physical fatigue.
