Brenna Short '24 Recruiting Profile

I started gymnastic lessons when I was 2 years old.  I loved to do cartwheels, bounce and flip around.    At the age of 8, I was at a friend’s pool and thought it would be fun to jump and flip off her diving board.  I then joined my local diving team and fell in love with the sport of diving.   I have learned so much from the sport, working on a team and working with my coaches.  Throughout my diving career, I have been fortunate to attend local, state, national and international events and training camps for AAU and USA Diving. 

I live in Marshfield, MA, with my parents, my older sister Samantha and my younger brother Brian.  I love animals, I have 2 cats Dillie and Simba and a dog named Midnight.  I used to take horseback riding lessons and dressage lessons.  I loved riding the horses and learning how to care for them.  I competed at local dressage meets.

I hold my high school records for 6 and 11 dive.  My sophomore season, I finished 2nd in Patriot League Championship, Sectionals and States.  I just finished my junior season, where I placed 2nd in Patriot League Championship, Sectionals and States.  My club team is Dolphin Dive Team, where I dive 5-6 days a week.  I also weight train 2 days a week with Shea Training System in Hanover.

I started playing violin in 3^rd grade and I belong to the high school’s Concert Orchestra.  My favorite classes are science and math.

In college, I want to major in biology.  I would love to study forensic science. I enjoy watching criminal minds.
