2025 USA Diving American Cup held at Mylan Park
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WBOY) — Thirty-nine competitors across six countries came to Morgantown on Thursday to kick off the 2025 USA Diving American Cup at Mylan Park, where the best divers compete for spots in other international meets later in the year.
Among the competitors are 16 Americans, eight female and eight male, who represent some of the best divers in the United States. The 2025 American Cup will have four days of competitions, and officially kicked off Thursday.
The events on Thursday and Friday are preliminary competitions, where the athletes aim to make the finals, which will be held on Saturday and Sunday. During the finals, the top 12 competitors will face off for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place positions, and from there, they'll look to move on to some other international competitions or national competitions for their respective home countries.
According to National Events Manager Michael Retcher, the Morgantown Aquatic Center has been home to many USA Diving national meets over the past few years, adding that the hospitality they've experienced there has been incredible.
'This is a world-class facility, truly, that is well-known amongst our athletes and the diving community,' he said.

Retcher also said that Visit Mountaineer Country and Peak Health Aquatic Center have been great partners with USA Diving, which is why the organization keeps coming back to hold competitions in Morgantown.
'The people, the experience here that we've had at our national-level events is awesome,' he said. 'Now we're showing the world on the international stage how awesome Morgantown, West Virginia, is and what a great job they do.'
According to Retcher, international meets like this one can provide the first opportunity, and at other times additional opportunities, to get experience on the international stage. He also said that although there are U.S. athletes competing at this event, competitors in this international cup are trying to get experience to compete in the World Aquatics Championships and hopefully secure a spot in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
USA Diving wants to pack the stands throughout the duration of the 2025 USA Diving American Cup, and they encourage people in the Greater Morgantown Area to stop by.
'You don't have to know a thing about diving, you don't have to have ever seen diving before,' Retcher added. 'But it is so much fun to be here—to be up close and personal watching these divers, and it's just really an electric event.'
Tickets for the event can be purchased online via Mylan Park's website. There, you can find a full event schedule for the coming days and also find information about volunteer opportunities.

USMNT vs. Haiti: Gold Cup odds, picks, predictions
The United States Men's National Team will wrap up the group stage of the 2025 Gold Cup with a match against Haiti on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The USMNT has already clinched its spot in the knockout stage thanks to a pair of wins over Trinidad & Tobago and Saudi Arabia, while Haiti will need a win and some help to advance. The Americans are a -185 favorite to win the match on the three-way moneyline, with Haiti coming back at +460 and the draw sitting at +330. USMNT vs. Haiti betting preview As expected, Team USA's win over Saudi Arabia on Thursday was a bit of a grind. The Americans were deserving winners, but it was far from a comprehensive victory, with a 63rd-minute header from Chris Richards serving as the difference. Saudi Arabia was always going to try and stifle the Americans rather than take the game to them, but things could look quite different against Haiti, even though Les Grenadiers are big underdogs. Team USA's Alexander Freeman looks for a pass against Saudi Arabia. Daniel Dunn-Imagn Images Not only do Haiti play with more risk in their game than Saudi Arabia does, but they also need to pull the upset to have a chance of advancing to the next round. And while it will still be a steep ask for Les Grenadiers to get the three points, they will have a shot considering the circumstances. With their spot in the next round already secured, it is likely that the USMNT will rotate its squad, allowing its starters to get a breather before the quarterfinals. The Americans and Mauricio Pochettino want to make a statement in the Gold Cup after a turbulent few months, but that's not as important as making sure that they're fresh for the business end of the tournament. USMNT vs. Haiti pick After a snoozer against Saudi Arabia, Sunday's match with Haiti could be a lot of fun. The Haitians will need to make a real go of it, which should lead to plenty of scoring chances at both ends of the pitch. While the Americans will be rotating in reserves, which should lead to some disjointed play from the favorites. This match has all the right ingredients for a high-scoring affair.
