Why Trinity?

Why swimming/diving?

  • I was an acrobatic gymnast for about 8 years. After winning a silver medal at the World Championships in 2014 I decided to retire from the sport. Soon after I tried out soccer and then dance, but something was missing from it for me. I tried out diving and realized I missed flipping the most. Ever since then I have stuck to diving and have been improving in the sport each year. I decided to come to Trinity and join the dive team, where Stan Randall continued to be my coach. I wouldn’t want to dive with anyone else.
