CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Winning platform at Junior Nationals this year because it was the best I had ever dived. Competing in World Junior Championships in IN 2005: Youth Olympics. It was a very different competition because there were people from all different sports. I came 2nd on Platform, which I didn't expect at all. We then had to do a knock out competition which was really fun and I won.
