Hailey Hernandez is continuing to garner the gold. During the U.S. Diving Winter National Championships last weekend, the Southlake Carroll diving alumna scored 510.6 points over two lists of dives, according to a media release. Going on to become the only diver to score more than 50 points on all five of her dives in the final, Hailey went on to win her second national title on the 1-meter dive and sixth place overall.
“I just really wanted to go out there, stay confident and go for my dives,” Hailey says via media release. “There were some great competitors, and I was happy to be challenged by the competition. I’m hoping to continue to improve and get some harder dives.”
In addition to her gold medal, Hailey’s fellow Texas Longhorn teammate Bridget O’Neil scored 489.6 points, taking the silver medal from the championship.
