"It was an amazing week. We broke quite a few school records and added even more all time top 10 performances to the list. The team trained very hard starting August 25th to make these results a reality," said Lafayette head coach James Dailey. "

I couldn't be more proud of them. We had great leadership all year from all the classes. It really sets us up to have an even better 2026-27 season. I can't wait," Dailey said.

Next up, the Leopard divers who qualified will travel to the NCAA Division 1 Zone A Diving Championships at Navy on March 9-11.
