Ryan took the men’s 1-meter gold with 776.90 points while Yost finished second with 746.25. Nick Harris took bronze at 726.75.
Yost had the highest degree of difficulty in the field, with a total DD of 19.90. Yost had three dives with a DD of 3.3 or higher, and no other diver performed a dive with a DD higher than 3.2. Yost scored 67.65 points on his front 3 ½ pike (3.3 DD) and 66.30 points on his inward 2 ½ pike (3.4 DD).
“We’ve been working all year back at Ohio State in the weight room, and it’s all so I can get those big dives done but still in a graceful and beautiful manner. They’ve come a long way and they still have a long way to go, but I’m really excited about the opportunity to go and showcase these dives on a stage like the World Championships,” Yost said.
The USA Diving National Championships continue through May 24. Sunday’s competition features quarterfinals and semifinals in men’s 3-meter and women’s 10-meter.
