2016 Olympic silver medalist Steele Johnson returned to competition for Purdue last weekend at the B1G Triple Dual meet hosted by the University of Minnesota.

Due to a stress fracture in his foot, Johnson had been forced to sit out and recover since early November. Now with only weeks remaining before the Big Ten Championships, Johnson is back on the springboard and contributing to the Boilermakers’ point totals once again.

Though Friday was the first time Johnson had attempted to dive after incurring his injury, he still managed a 3rd-place finish on the one-meter board and a score of 354.20. After the meet, Johnson took a few minutes to update SwimSwam on his recovery, plans for competitions beyond NCAAs in March, synchro training with David Boudia, and married life.
