Kimmell finishes 23rd at state diving

Tuesday, February 23, 2021

Nevada High School junior Laura Kimmell failed to advance beyond the preliminary round in the 1-meter diving event at the Missouri State High School Activities Association Class 1 Girls Swimming and Diving Championship Saturday in St. Peters.

Kimmell qualified for state with the 24th best score on the season out of 24 entrants — and finished her first trip there with a prelim score of 124.30, good enough for 23rd overall.

This year's state champion, senior Margo O'Meara of Westminster Christian, won with a score of 621.45 and will compete in the Olympic trials.
