At the Phoenix Fall Classic, Cubberley placed third of 12 in the 1-meter competition with 482.00 points. He placed fourth of nine in the 3-meter competition, scoring 468.15 points.

The reigning OAC Diver of the Year, Cubberley qualified for the NCAA Championships in both 1- and 3-meter diving as a freshman. He holds the school record in the 3-meter diving competition with 500.50 points for 11 dives.

The Polar Bears do not compete in December and will return to action on Jan. 13 at Kenyon in a tri-meet with Oberlin.
