NVSL divers Cristiano Garcia of Springfield and Marleigh DaSilva of Vienna Woods swept their events at USA Diving Zones this weekend in North Carolina and are headed to Junior Nationals. Marleigh is the 2025 Virginia State high school champion and Cristiano is the reigning national champion on 1-meter, 3-meter, and platform. Amir Owens of Hunt Valley won the 1-meter and platform events and placed second on 3-meter so he is also headed back to Junior Nationals as a leading contender. Thibault Lede of Oakton placed second in platform and sixth on 3-meter to earn a return trip to Nationals as well.
