Liberty senior, Rachel Steiner, took fourth place at the LVC Diving Championships on Feb. 8 at Parkland High School.

"I was feeling pretty good. I usually do pretty good at Parkland. It's one of my favorite pools to dive in," Steiner said.

Central Catholic's Nicole Sagl won the 11-dive meet, followed by Easton's Kelsey Jehl, and Emmaus's Anna Overholts.

"Nicole Sagl from Central is amazing. She always does very well. Anna Overholts, from Emmaus, for most of the meet I was ahead of her, but I didn't do well on my last three dives. Kelsey from Easton is amazing too," said Steiner.

Steiner's best dives of the day were her front dive straight, front one-and-a-half, and front dive full twist.

Steiner's front dive straight has become a dive the Hurricane senior can rely on.

"It's always a good dive. I had a really good hurdle. It's always been easy, and I'm taller so I get a lot of height," she said.

Steiner also had a nice hurdle on her front one-and-a-half.

"I can do a nice, tight pike for that, and the judges like when you finish the dive higher, so you drop farther into the water," said Steiner.

One of Steiner's last dives was a back one full twist, a brand new dive for the Liberty senior.

"I messed up my hurdle, and so I didn't get the height I wanted, but I've been practicing it [since the LVC meet], and it's going better," she said.

The District 11 diving meet is scheduled for Feb. 22 at Emmaus High School.

"Third place would be nice," said Steiner.
