Rachel Dinkel '17 Recruiting Profile

I want to attend a college and compete in diving while earning a bachelor of science degree.   My career goal is to enter either veterinary medicine or physical therapy.  

I have been diving since age 6 with a summer league team.  I always enjoyed staying beyond practices and working extra to improve my diving during the summer.  I am still with this team, and I am now an assistant coach.  There were other sports I participated in during the school year, and I have been in advanced academics since middle school.  I have always worked hard in my studies and extracurricular activities.

This past year I have decided to dedicate myself to diving.  I attended Ripfest diving camp one week the summer of 2015 and four weeks the summer of 2016.  During these camps, I began diving from 3-meter springboard and 5m platform and improved on 1m.  I also have dove with Alexandria Dive Club in the past, but I am increasing my participation with them this year.  

The dives I am proficient in are listed below in bold.  Dives I am working on learning are in italics.
