Ella McKinley '21 Recruiting Profile

I am an athlete second and student first.

I placed 2nd in WB6 Conference.

i have been in the gym everyday building my best body while pools/clubs have been closed. I am in the best shape and have the most strength yet and I am ready  to take my dives to the next level. I have been focused on cleaning up and pulling harder in my dives. This is not  reflected in my reel- covid significantly modified what I was able to put up this year since it was school led and we didnt have school. I am hungry to get back on the  board and and surpass my previous PR’s.

i have been a competitive gymnast for 8 plus years defying all odds with 2 knee surgeries, an year and a half off  and a lean 5’ 9”  tall. I am currently a Level 8, going to 9, gymnast this year.

The 2018 season was my first season for swimming/diving where I competed Varsity diving and was 1st place at RIHS.  I placed 4th in the WB6 Conference in 2019 and 2nd in 2020.

I am returning to diving this 2019 season and the second meet I have a personal best of 6 dives scoring 180- which is 40 points higher than 5 days ago. I am excelling quickly this year and hope to be over 225 for 6 by mid season.
