As the one and only diver on CdM’s diving team, Kaylee Myers has achieved great heights when it comes to this exhilarating sport. Myers recently represented CdM at the Pacific Coast League Championship where she placed first in the springboard 1-meter and 3-meter and went on to Division 1 CIF where she placed in the top ten. When asked how it felt to win first place and then excel onto Division 1 CIF, Myers replied, “It felt good and it was a lot of fun.”

Practicing six days a week for two and a half hours, Myers has worked hard to become such a great diver.

Myers was once a gymnast but after she was injured from a torn elbow ligament she had to stop gymnastics. She soon became interested in diving and said her favorite part about the sport is just getting to dive.

Myers is now jumping from the 7-meter board but she is working to get to the 10-meter board, which is the highest. Diving from great heights can still scare Myers, but she said, “As more time went on the less scared I got and I have gotten over my fears.”

With numerous hours of practice and dedication, Myers has gotten to where she is now as a diver. Her great accomplishments as CdM’s only diver are astounding. Congrats Kaylee!
