Colten tried out diving for the first time last year, as a Freshman, and loved it! He doesn't have any fear of smacking the water, so he improved really quickly, go figure! This year has been great as well, except for a minor accident he had while doing back flips off of a chair during mutual! Of course, it didn't dawn on him that it might not be the brightest thing to do during the middle of a sport season, but nevertheless, he under rotated one and hit his knee. It swelled to three times it's normal size and he couldn't walk on it for several days! This put him out of dive for 3 meets and about 2 1/2 weeks. Just one week before regionals he was able to get on the board again! He went to regionals and took 4th place, just missing state by 4 points! What a heart breaker! He had a great season though, and were already looking forward to next year!
Uncle Nate checking out the knee and subjecting Colten to a little pain! Ouch!
Check out that pike position! Getting limber enough to do that required some yoga with mom!
