Schnell and Parratto scored higher than their competitors, Katrina Young and Nike Agunbiade, and secured the gold medal. Parratto, who had taken a break from diving after the Olympics, decided to continue after participating in a non-Olympic event in December. She returned to training and was happy with the progress she had made in a short time.

Schnell and Parratto competed together for the first time since the Olympics at a recent World Cup event in Montreal. They felt that the event was necessary to prepare for the USA Diving National Championships and the upcoming World Aquatics Championships. They still have some things to work on, but they are excited to compete again.

Downs and Duncan also performed well in the men's synchronized 3-meter event and won their third national title together. They were satisfied with their performance, although they believe there were some missed opportunities to score more points. Their goal was to qualify for the World Aquatics Championships, and they achieved that.

The USA Diving National Championships will continue until May 24, with more events taking place, including the women's synchronized 3-meter and the men's synchronized 10-meter events.
