John Carroll University Athletics

Over the course of a brilliant four-year career as the preeminent diver at both John Carroll and in the Ohio Athletic Conference, Frank D’Angelo captured eight Ohio Athletic Conference titles (four each on the 1- and 3-meter boards) and managed to set both the school and conference records in both events. 

In 1997, he earned OAC Diver of the Year in what was the inaugural year for the award.

On a national level, D’Angelo was a top 16 finisher on six occasions. D’Angelo’s best national finish at the NCAA Division III Championship was 8th place on the 3-meter board at the 1996 Division III Championships to earn first team All-American honors. Five other times, D’Angelo garnered honorable mention All-American status.  He was a national qualifier all four years at John Carroll.

D’Angelo helped lead the Blue Streaks to OAC titles in 1994, 1995, 1996.  At the time of his graduation, D’Angelo held the school record in both 1- and 3-meter diving (a record he still holds).  In 1997, he shared the team Most Valuable Athlete award with Jeff Juergens. 

An embodiment of the student-athlete, D’Angelo was John Carroll’s male nominee for the OAC Clyde Lamb Award in 1997.
