Divers are TOUGH

Just finished watching the Trinity vs WPI swim meet and wanted to congratulate one of our captains Amanda Kulik (also swim team captain) on her final home meet at the College! It was amazing to watch some of the seniors compete in a final freestyle relay event...

The athletic moment that stood out to me was the diving event - a WPI female diver missed a rotation and landed flat on her back off the 3m diving board...the sound shocked the crowd and she slowly made her way to the side of the pool and barely made it out. Her body took an incredible impact - close to as hard a hit as I've ever witnessed. To her absolute credit, she made her next dive relatively successfully and must have swallowed her fear. Immediately afterwards, her whole back and legs were wrapped up with ice bags...what a tough kid.

Either way, Trinity's women were triumphant and I believe the men lost narrowly.

Final meeting tomorrow in the AV Room at 4:15 PM

9 days until season launch
