“I think I did really well,” Rea said. “It’s sometimes hard getting used to different diving boards. You have to figure out how to ride them and get the best jump that you can. Since we haven’t been on the Harvard diving boards for a week and a half, I was a little nervous for today. But it actually turned out well and I’m feeling happy with how I did. It was definitely a personal best.”

In the second of Rea’s events, the three-meter dive, Harvard once again swept the top three places. Freshman Amanda Largent finished her dives with a score of 284.63 followed shortly by junior Brittany Powell and her 284.48 total.

“I think it all goes back to the training trip that we were just on,” Rea explained. “We divers have been in Hawaii for 12 days and had two practices a day literally almost every day that we were there. So there was a lot of training—we put in a lot of time and, today, when we all got up to do our dives, we got the results.”

Rea placed this meet in a line of others, all of which leading to only one goal—the Ivy title.

“We want to win Ivy,” Rea said. “We want a ring. That’s what we want the most right now. That is what we have been working towards, what we have strived for all season, and, especially, what we were going for in this meet.”
