On with the show...

So since this blog is currently on its shaky post-natal legs, and does not have a cool, hip and defined personality, I figured we at least need something towards which to take our first steps.

I am currently waist deep in a year's worth of Division 1 NCAA Diving workouts. This includes ab workouts, trampoline workouts, weight training, cardio workouts, and, of course, workouts on the actual diving boards. My brain is melty. But it is all worth it, because I have a great team coming back this year and I'm pretty excited. So for the purpose of having a reference point for who and what I am talking about for the next year, here is a brief introduction to WKU Diving.

Divers:
Emily - Senior - Kentucky girl, not very good when she came to school, last season's Sunbelt Conference Champion.

Erica - Senior - My crazy Canadian, the only hockey fan besides me in Kentucky, daredevil.

Peyton - Junior - Pale fella (we call him Casper), amazing diver, qualified for Zone Championships last year, slowest eater in the world.

Morgan - One of my new ones. Another Kentucky girl so I have high hopes

Jake - Freshman - Great kid, good diver, Lots of promise

Vinnie - Freshman - Great kid, good diver, lots of promise.

Jim - Freshman - Local boy from Bowling Green. I've coached him for 3 1/2 years on my club team. Great kid. Great family.

Our season starts August 25th (first day of practice) and our first meet is the middle of October.

Also cool, one of WKU's former swimmers Mallory Mead just successfully swam the English Channel in a time of 10 hrs. and 34 min.

That's it from my end...for now.
