The Olympic team was announced this morning and unfortunately my name was not on the roster. I fought hard in Tennessee for a spot on the team, but in the end came up short. I can at least say that I gave it my all (and so did Burkley in synchro!) and can walk away from the sport without any regrets. Thanks to all for your support! I couldn't have done it without the help, prayers, and encouragement from so many. While I am sad that one chapter of my life is closing I am excited to look to the future and dream about what lies ahead. If there is anything that my 17 year diving career has taught me it is that anything truly is possible and to dream big!

Half way through the selection camp. I got off to a slow start in the individual event, but Burkley and I came back that night and had two of our best scores! We did well and just came up short of winning the lists. We dive again on Saturday and you can follow along online. Just go to www.divemeets.com for live video and scoring!

I have the best fan club! They were awesome last night! I guess it was shown on the internet at www.nbcolympics.com and one of the commentators said that I seemed to have the best crowd! I totally agree. Day one is finished and I am so happy with how I did. I have really been working on my consistency and finishing well in the early rounds and I was able to accomplish that last night. Now we head to the finals! Be sure and watch on NBC at 3pm eastern and cheer loud, even if you are at home I am sure I will hear it!

The preliminary and semi-final rounds are tomorrow. I am feeling good and ready to compete! For those who will not be able to attend you can see the live scores at www.divemeets.com.

Well, they are here!  Today is the first day of competition for the 2008 Olympic Trials.  Exciting stuff!  The men and women compete tonight on the 10 meter platform.  Good luck everyone!

 I am getting excited for my competition to start.  I compete on Friday at 1pm and 7pm and then the finals are on Saturday at 3pm.  The finals will be shown live on NBC!  They are scheduled to start at 3pm eastern time so put on your no splash t-shirt and cheer me on!  It will be a great competition and I am really looking forward to it.  I have many family members and friends who have come out to support me and many who I know are supporting me from home.  My Grandmother ever overcame her fear of flying (only the 3rd time in her life!) just to come watch, look for her on TV! 

 I will try to update during the week, but for results you can check the USA Diving website at www.usadiving.org.
