MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Session tickets for the USA Diving Winter Nationals at the Mylan Park Aquatic Center are on sale now. President and CEO of the Visit Mountaineer Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Susan Riddle said the same facility is one of two finalists to host an Olympic diving event.
“This is our dress rehearsal for the bid we submitted for the 2024 USA Olympic Diving Trials and were are on of two finalists,” Riddle said.
Riddle encourages residents to show their support by attending some of the sessions, but said she hopes the entire community can show some level of support even if they cannot attend.
“The more we can show community support the more the USA Diving Site Selection Committee will see how serious we are,” Riddle said.
The 2022 USA Diving Winter Nationals is the largest event hosted by the Mylan Park Aquatic Center. Riddle believes a community-wide show of support will really make a positive impression and could lead to the next biggest event ever to be held there.
“Anyone who has a business and a billboard from December 14 through 18 we would really appreciate digital or static letter messages that say,” Welcome USA Diving,” it’s that simple,” Riddle said.
The week begins with a “last chance” qualifier Monday and Tuesday, them competition begins on Wednesday with the championship round on Sunday. For complete session ticket information click here.
