Wow! 2nd Place at LA84

Incredible! I won 2nd place in diving at the LA84 Foundation Diving Festival. The best divers from the LA area were there to compete.

I was pretty nervous, so I only watched the other diver from my team. I turned my back when the rest of the divers dove because I didn't want to get intimidated.

I got pretty good scores on all my dives, but the last dive, was my highest difficulty dive and I nailed it... got the best scores I ever got on a dive.

Below is my winning dive.



Thanks to everyone that helped me this summer. My coach Sarah, my grandpa Dick, my tumbling coach Gabe, my dad for his coaching and my mom for taking me to all those practices and meets.

I'm going to be diving some more this fall at Santa Clarita. I'll keep you posted.

Awhile later

Hey, I got second in regionals. Sorry that its been awhile since I last put some videos on. I learned some new dives. Let's see what you think.



This isn't a new dive but I got better at it. It is an inward.



I got better at this front somersault full twist.



This is a front double somersault.



This is a forward straight dive.



this is a reverse somersault.



This is a new dive I learned. A back one and a half.



This is not a dive, but I think you will like it.
