Megan McKinley-Deal was one of the best divers in UT history, earning All-MAC honors in her junior and senior seasons. She is one of only four women in the history of the UT swimming & diving program to earn All-America honors. In her senior year, McKinley was an NCAA qualifier and first-team All-MAC selection. She was the MAC Diver of the Year that season, winning both the one-meter and three-meter boards at the MAC Championships. She was the first UT diver to qualify for the NCAA Championships since 1995, placing 10th in the three-meter and 22nd in the one-meter to earn All-America recognition. With McKinley’s points alone, the University of Toledo was ranked 33rd overall in scoring at the NCAAs. McKinley still holds both the one- and three-meter school records. As a junior, McKinley earned second-team All-MAC honors, placing second in the three-meter and third in the one-meter at the MAC Championships. She also competed in the NCAA Diving Regionals, taking seventh in the one-meter and ninth in the three-meter. McKinley placed fourth in the three-meter as a freshman and fourth in the one-meter as a sophomore.
