A third product of Indiana’s swimming and diving program has stepped onto the medal stand in Tokyo.
This time it’s Jessica Parratto, who won silver with her partner Delaney Schnell in the women’s 10-meter synchronized platform diving event on Tuesday. Parratto and Schnell ended with 310.80 points, trailing the Chinese team that totaled 363.78 points to seize gold. Mexico’s duo grabbed bronze with 299.70 points.
Not only was it a milestone achievement for Parratto, who finished seventh in the event alongside IU alumna Amy Cozad during the Rio games five years ago, but it was a history-making achievement for the United States.
