Kate Mundorf '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I am Kate. I am a junior, diver, ex-gymnast, ex-cheerleader, and current dancer. I thrive in a team environment, no matter if I have to truly count on my friends to hold me up in a stunt, or cheer on my peers while they go up to three meter to do a dive for the first time. I am a team player, no matter what is happening I will always stop and take a moment for others. A little more about my past careers, I had been competing gymnastics for 10 years, reaching the sapphire level when I finally retired last year for diving. As for diving, I started when I was 10 because my mom wanted me to be a better swimmer. At first I dreaded going to practice, but thanks to my mom, I kept going. Once I started making friends, and translating my gymnastics to diving, my passion started burning. Now I love it so much, and it is so rewarding, but still challenging without the mental and physical pain gymnastics brought me for so many years. With being so busy, my progress started off slow, but adding hours to the week, pushing through the fear and getting back on the board, and finding the fun within all of the adrenaline, my skill, and confidence, is rising fast. I love challenging myself, and reaching new highs I never knew existed, and I am hopeful to continue my journey in college.
