(Narrative by John Sutter)

Because Ms. Karyn Henderson is too busy making me pancakes and doing kick sets to write anything, this week's diary entry will be brought to you by none other than that crazy diver kid with a beard. Accordingly, no references will be made to swimmers, swimming sets, WEDNESDAY TEST SETS, animal kicks, or kick sets.

Last week will go down in Emory Diving history as the week the divers stopped diving. Monday, while the swim team (sorry, just name dropping) sat through its hour-long weekly meeting, the divers played catch with our coach, Alex.

I, for one, am glad that Alex's extraordinary record as an Olympic medalist, former coach of the Belarus national team, and 11-time national champion in the former Soviet Union doesn't make him overqualified to throw Erin's chamois at us while we're doing dives, flips and spins. Too bad we're divers and suck at catching.

Other diving activities for the week included: being forced to do handstands on the three-meter board, which is much harder and more terrifying that it may look; laughing at Jackie not being able to lift 20 pounds over her head; seeing Sarah run; and watching Lisa bounce up and down and up and down the stairs while running stadiums for hours. Holler at getting in shape.

Hope you have enjoyed this trip into the world of diving. Go Eagles! …and kick sets! (sorry, had to throw it in)!
