One of the most decorated divers in the history of UMass women’s swimming and diving, Michaela Butler’s records in the one-meter and three-meter dives have stood for over a decade. In the one-meter, she posted a total of 336.23 in the 2013-14 season, which currently stands as the Joseph R. Rogers Jr. Pool Record. Butler scored a 351.80 in the three-meter dive during the 2013-14 season to set the record.
A three-time All-American, Butler was the first member of the UMass swimming and diving program to become an All-American, and was also the first to do so in the Atlantic 10 Conference. She placed within the top five twice in the one-meter dive at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, sitting fourth in 2013 and fifth in 2014. Butler ranked fourth in the three-meter dive in the 2014 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, as well, to help earn All-America status.
Butler was a six-time Atlantic 10 individual champion, earning the gold in both the one-and three-meter dives in 2012, 2013 and 2014. She qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships three times in her career, starting in 2013 in the one-meter dive, before qualifying in 2014 for the one-meter and for the three-meter in 2015. While at the NCAA’s, Butler posted US World Team Trials certified scores.
