Former Auburn diver Ashlynn Sullivan is in her second season as a graduate assistant, working with diving head coach Chris Colwill.
In the 2024-25 season, Sullivan joined Colwill in guiding the Georgia diving team, qualifying two men’s divers for the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2006. Sophomore Matthew Bray finished 26th on 3-meter at NCAAs, following a third-place finish on the springboard at NCAA Zones. Junior Renato Calderaro placed 32nd on 1-meter at NCAAs and sixth on 3-meter at Zones, while also receiving SEC Men’s Newcomer Diver of the Year honors. The pair also reached the 3-meter championship final at SECs, becoming the first duo to do since 2006. Senior Rhett Hopkins reached the 1-meter finals at Zones, while also scoring on both springboards at SECs and setting a new personal-best score on platform. Freshman Bo Bridges also qualified for Zones on both springboards, while senior Allen Mann placed third on platform at the midseason UGA Diving Invitational.
For the women’s diving team, junior Hannah Stumpf scored on 1-meter and platform at SECs, with sophomore Michelle Cummo and freshman Nyla Thompson both qualifying for Zones.
In her final season at Auburn, Sullivan reached her first NCAA Championships, finishing 37th on platform and 47th on 1-meter. Earlier at the SEC Championships, she earned the bronze medal on platform, finished sixth on 3-meter, and won the 1-meter consolation final.
During her career, Sullivan qualified for the NCAA Zone B Championships in all five seasons as a Tiger. She also reached three SEC championship finals, including the two in her graduate season.
Sullivan, a native of Lucas, Texas, graduated from Auburn in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. She was named to SEC Academic Honor Roll each year on the Plains.
