From WATE in Knoxville: The U.S. diving trials for the 2024 Olympics will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee.

 

USA Diving awarded the competition to the Allan Jones Aquatic Center at the University of Tennessee, named after local businessman and philanthropist, Allan Jones. 

 

The trials, to be held in June 2024, will determine the American team for the Paris Games.

 

More than 100 divers are expected to compete. The specific dates for trials will be set at a later date. Pending U.S. qualification, the event is set to conduct events for both men and women in individual and synchronized 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform.

 

Knoxville has hosted several major USA Diving events, including the 2019 junior national championships and the 2014 national championship.
