Makenna Sharpe is a sophomore on Law’s girls swim and dive team. She is the highest scoring divers on the swim team this season. Entertainment editor Stephanie Caron interviewed Sharpe on the team’s successful start to the season. 

Stephanie Caron: What is your personal goal with diving this season?

Makenna Sharpe: My goal for this season is breaking my own personal best, and possibly breaking the school record, I think that it would be really cool to be able to hold a record as a sophomore.

SC: How does Mr. Simon encourage you to do better? 

MS: He encourages me to do better by pushing me to get better and perfect my dives and he is always bringing up the end goal which is states and maybe state opens.

SC: What is your proudest moment so far this season? 

MS: So far this season my proudest moment is getting a dive that I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a dive that i’ve seen other divers do and have always been in awe of. Also I am very proud of getting over some of my mental blocks that were holding me back.

SC: What ways do you encourage other divers to do better? 

MS: The way I encourage other divers to do better is by being supportive. In meets after all their dives, even if the dive weren’t as good as they wanted to be, I try to cheer them up and reassure them. Also, I try to encourage the swimmers as well, and if I see someone looking sad, or that nobody is cheering for a lane, I try to go over and cheer for them.

SC: What are your goals for the team this season? 

MS: My goal for the team this year is for everyone to have the chance to compete, and for everyone to qualify for states and SCC’s
