State Bound

Wow! The state diving meet was an amazing experience. It was held in Federal Way, WA at the pool built for the Good Will Games. What a gorgeous pool. It was so fun to watch Jay complete his goal of making it to state this year. He did such a fantastic job. I asked him if he was nervous and he said that he had too much adrenaline to be nervous. He started out very strong, placing 3rd after his 3rd dive (out of 30 divers) and being 11th after his 5th dive, which permitted him to continue and not be eliminated. (10 divers were eliminated after the first 5 dives). He then had to perform three of his more difficult dives and slipped to 18th place which eliminated him after the 2nd round. (top 16 performed in the finals). Jay finished 18th in the state which was so exciting to experience. Jay - we are so proud of you!!!
Diving is now over - on to training through gymnastics. We can't wait until next year!
