The Hawkeyes dove to school records in two events on the year. Freshman Will Brenner, a two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week honoree, set the 1-meter springboard (365.00) school record at the Hawkeye Invitational, while junior Calli Head tied the women's platform record (312.20) at the 2016 Big Ten Championships, where she earned a bronze medal.

One of the divers -- Abby Grilli -- posted the fourth-best score (354.10) and was a three-time Big Ten Diver of the Week honoree. Under Waikel's watch, Iowa diving has turned into a major player on the national diving scene as USA Diving recognized Hawkeye diving as "Center of Excellence" for 2014. Much of the attention can be attributed to Freeman-Huff, who has excelled under Waikel's tutelage. Freeman-Huff was bronze medalist at the 2015 Pan American Games and placed fourth at FINA Grand Prix Meet. She also won the 3-meter synchronized diving event at the USA Diving Winter Nationals, claimed the 3-meter and 3-meter synchro events at the AT&T Diving Championships and placed 11th on the 1-meter at the FINA World Championships in Spain. In 2014, Freeman-Huff was named to the U.S. Olympic Performance Squad, finished eighth at the FINA Diving World Series in China, and earned the bronze at the Canada Cup and 2014 Malaysia Grand Prix. She also earned a bronze at the 2015 Pan Am Games with Waikel serving as a Team Leader for Team USA.

He also has coached 10 USA Diving National Teams to titles since 2006. In his final season at Indiana, Waikel coached six Indiana divers to 11 All-America honors.

Feldman captured conference titles in both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard and went on to earn All-America honors in both events.

She was also a silver medalist in the 3-meter and a bronze in the 3-meter synchro at the World University Games. Loukas was a seven-time USA National Champion and six-time Big Ten champion under Waikel's watch. Loukas earned All-America honors on all three boards in 2006.
