With two-time Collegiate Varsity winner Caleb Swartz out of school, the rest of the 2019 Collegiate Varsity Men’s podium was due for an upgrade.
Tyler Orschel of Brevard took advantage, and upgraded his 2019 silver medal to gold to take the title.
Scott Funston of Colorado Mesa, winner of the U23 Pan Ams title, did the same, moving up one spot from bronze in 2019 to silver in 2021.
Orschel’s teammate Tyler Clark took bronze.
