Kindin qualified for state this year in diving. It's really quite amazing that she did as a freshman - amidst a 2 week quarantine for COVID and a month away due to a concussion. She didn't have high expectations and we giggled that she placed 22nd because it was simply a delight to be a part of the big event!
She is also a fairly good swimmer and cringed when swimmers overinflated their contribution to the overall team. She often snuck in a swim race at diving practice with swimmers as they left the pool and she was sure to compete in the one meet where divers are invited to join the relays. She also participated in the summer swim league one more year. After having only attended only 2 practices all summer, she competed and we overheard parents exclaim, "He got beat by a girl", "she's fast", and "I got 25 flat over here!"
