Michael Wright is USA Diving's very fit and very bulging new national champion in the men's 1-meter springboard. The 22-year-old won the title Monday at the USA Diving Winter National Championships and is believed to be the first black national champion in USA Diving history.
Wright is the first black member of University of Tennessee's swimming and diving team. Wright's Abercrombie & Fitch-inspired official team photo AFTER THE JUMP...
Awww. He's so handsome and talented.
And a package!
Go Michael Wright!
We took over golf and tennis, now it's time to take over swimming and diving!
