I only have about 5 minutes before I head to the pool for warm ups, but I wanted to quickly fill you in. I am at Miami University of Ohio in Oxford, Ohio competing in my fourth and final NCAA National Championships. I am excited and nervous. I have already been to the pool for a quick touch on the boards, but am heading back to have my scheduled warm ups. The actual competition starts at 1:30.
I will do all 11 dives on 1 meter today. After preliminaries, the top 8 divers will return to repeat their 6 optional dives. The optional scores for the morning session are dropped and the combination of tonight’s 6 ops and this mornings 5 voluntaries make up the total score. The person with the highest points win.
For me, step one is getting into finals. All my energy will be focused on staying calm and composed. One dive at a time. It’s going to be one heck of a weekend and I can’t wait to get started.
I’ll post after prelims and finals, so check in later today to find out what happens!
The News Office blog is currently featuring reports from MIT senior Doria Holbrook, above, who is chronicling her attempt to qualify for the U.S. Olympic diving trials in June.
