Eila Currie - Quinn - 2nd in New Zealand

Eila recently traveled to Auckland to complete in the New Zealand National Diving Championships, and came away with great success! Here is her take on the event.

One the last weekend of term 1 I went to Auckland for Springboard Diving Nationals. I competed in the girls 1 meter springboard age group event.

I went with 4 or 5 other divers, none of which competed in the same event as me. 

In my event I had to do 5 dives. Four of them had to be in different directions and the last had to be a different dive of the same direction as one of the other dives. There were two divers in the girls event and three divers in the boys event. 

The dives that I did were front dive pike, back dive tuck, inward dive tuck, reverse dive tuck and front somersault tuck. I got second in my event which made me the second best in the country for my age and level.
