Senior diver Makenna Sharpe earned All-State honors for diving for the third year in a row. Advocate News Editor Olivia Augustine interviewed Sharpe about her final diving season. 

Olivia Augustine: What did you do in order to earn this accomplishment?

Makenna Sharpe: I dive in the off season with my club team. I have noticed that from freshman year doing this has helped me improve tremendously which led to earning All-State three years in a row.

OA: How do you feel about breaking school records for diving throughout your high school career?

MK: When I came in freshman year I didn’t have very high expectations since I had very little diving experience. As I progressed through the years, I set goals for myself, and as I reached these goals I kept raising the bar which led to me breaking the school record and then my own records.

OA: Were you able to achieve all your goals this year? 

MK: I would say that I reached my goals this year. I wasn’t as stressed about harsh goals since I already knew I was set with college.

OA: What is your favorite memory from the swim season?

MK: It’s hard to pick one memory, but one thing that will always resonate with me is the iconic song choices such as “Temperature,” “Wup Num,” and anything by pitbull.

OA: Will you be continuing to dive in college?

MK: I am diving in college. I committed to San Jose State University.
