She is amazing. Congrats to her.Recently, she won the NCAA title on the 10 meter platform More recently the won the US Nationals in the same event. The second place finisher in the nationals was Laura Wilkinson, an Olympic gold medalist. Incredibly, Olivia accomplished these feats despite the fact that NU doesn't have a 10 meter diving well! In my opinion, no NU athlete has accomplished more in 2017.
My daughter did the same at Wisconsin. No excuse for NU not having a platform. We have the BIG, NCAA, and National Champion for God's sake!My daughter was a diver for NU. She had to travel to Milwaukee to train on the 10 meter platform. I thought a 10 meter platform was to be included in the remodel of the pool
Update on Olivia: She just won the BIG 3-meter springboard with a record score!My daughter did the same at Wisconsin. No excuse for NU not having a platform. We have the BIG, NCAA, and National Champion for God's sake!
Is she a potential Olympian in a couple of years?Update on Olivia: She just won the BIG 3-meter springboard with a record score!
Absolutely! She won the 10 meter platform National Championship last year. The second place finisher was Laura Wilkinson, who already has Olympic gold and recently came out of retirement. The fact that Olivia has accomplished all of this at a University that doesn't have a 10 meter platform is astonishing. In my opinion, she ranks with Luke Donald, Matt Grevers, Jake Herbert, Otto Graham, Jordan Wilamovsky, and, maybe others, as one of the greatest athletes NU has ever produced.Is she a potential Olympian in a couple of years?
Don't forget Jordan Ash!!In my opinion, she ranks with Luke Donald, Matt Grevers, Jake Herbert, Otto Graham, Jordan Wilamovsky, and, maybe others, as one of the greatest athletes NU has ever produced.
Never forget Ash! If healthy,I think Ash would have gotten us to the NCAA tournament this year!Don't forget Jordan Ash!!
