Ipsen and Dumais won the bronze in the synchronized 3m on August 1 with a score of 446.7. The duo's medal along with David Boudia's gold in the 10 metre platform and Boudia and his partner Nicholas McCrory's bronze in the synchronized 10m platform were the first Olympic medals of any kind for the United States since 2000 and the first for a U.S male diver since 1996 in Atlanta when Mark Lenzi won the bronze medal in the 3 meter springboard.

At the 2016 FINA World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ipsen won a bronze medal in the 3m springboard. It is his first individual diving medal at the FINA Diving World Cup.

At the 2016 Olympics trials the team of Ipsen and Dumais came in second in the 3m springboard synchronized event and as there was only one spot on the Olympic squad in the event they did not qualify. The duo was bested by the team of Michael Hixon and Sam Dorman who went on to win the silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the event.

Ipsen represented the United States in the men's 3m springboard event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and finished fifth. Following the 3m springboard Olympic competition Ipsen related "I’m taking a significant break," ..."We’ll see if that Olympic spark comes back, but I’m definitely going to take a break after this".

Personal life

Ipsen is the son of Kent and Yvette Ipsen. He has a younger sister, Lauren. During the summer, he works at his family’s restaurants (Skipolini’s Pizza). He attended De La Salle High School. He graduated from Stanford University in 2015. He was a member of the Stanford Cardinal diving team during his time there.
