Ali Labonte '27 Recruiting Profile

Diving is my passion. I dove for about 3 years and then Covid hit and my team was discontinued. Then I was a gymnast for 4 years-3 year’s competitively. My freshman year, I joined the high school dive team and competed in both diving and gymnastics. My sophomore year, I had a very big decision to make between diving and gymnastics, and I chose diving because that is where my heart has always been. I am very goal oriented, for example if I have a dive I want that day I give it my best effort so at the end of the day I feel accomplished in what I did at the pool. My gymnastics background has really helped me to excel in this sport and gain new dives quicker. I am fearless and I also love supporting my teammates. My relationships with my teammates and my coaches are very important. I love to be social, try new things and meet new people. Continuing to dive throughout college has been my dream since I was younger, and I am determined to accomplish my goals.
