Diving 1936-38

A cornerstone of the Ohio State’s “Diving Dynasty,” Jim Patterson was the first in the long line of Buckeye springboard greats. He was the Big Ten low board champion in 1936 and 1937 and won the one-meter National Championship in 1937. The six-time All-American originated a number of dives that were eventually placed in the NCAA rule book.
