Wu’s first-place performance on the 1-meter board earned her a ticket to USA Diving Nationals in Midland, Texas at the end of July. This weekend, she is competing at the Zones in Huntersville, N.C., where she will try to earn a spot at the National Championships on the 3-meter board.

Another Marlins diver, Veronica Fyfe made the NISCA 2021-2022 All-America Diving list. Fyfe is going into her senior year at Pascack Valley High School in Hillsdale, N.J.
