Divers finished the tournament with a three-round total of 243 (+27) to finish in 52nd. Heath led the Warriors overall, finishing tied for 35th place with a total of 230 (+14). Harvey finished at 236 (+20) for a tie in 44th, followed closely by Laro at 237 (+21) in 47th and Simmons at 239 (+23) in 50th.

Competing as an individual, sophomore Brendan Barbeau continued to represent Corban well, finishing tied for 23rd place with a total of 225 (+9). Barbeau carded rounds of 74 (+2), 75 (+3), and 76 (+4), maintaining consistency throughout all three rounds of competition.

Lewis-Clark State's Carson Clinton claimed individual medalist honors with a three-round score of 209 (-7).
