Michele Umbaugh '20 Recruiting Profile

    My journey began in gymnastics when I was seven years old.  I have competed in three national competitions across the United States.   My athletic abilities stem from the balance, coordination, strength, and discipline that I developed over six years.  I found my passion in diving a few years ago by attending a summer camp.  I immediately became hooked.  I started out strong due to my history in gymnastics.  My progression, I have been told, is on an advanced level.  I began diving my Sophomore year in high school where I competed on the Varsity team.  My goal was to qualify for districts.  I am proud to say that I achieved my goal.  This being my Junior year and second year diving, I have advanced to the number one female diver on the Varsity team.  I have contributed to the whole of the team by earning points by placing first at several of my meets this year.    

    I am interested to see what the future holds for me athletically and academically.  I am in search of a college that I can grow, learn, and excel in both aspects.  I would love to be a part of a team where I can help contribute to the organization and learn and develop more skills in my diving career.  While my primary goal is education, I hope that I can be given the opportunity to advance and compete for your team.
