| Introduction | Being a college athlete is no easy feat. Trying to maintain a good GPA and a social life while practicing 20+ hours a week and travelling on weekends is nearly impossible. However, Florida Gator Emma Whitner has single handedly mastered this task. Emma is a diver for the University of Florida, maintains a 3.87 GPA, made the Dean’s List last year, and still makes time for her friends. Emma grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and started out her athletic career as a swimmer but wasn’t too fond of the sport. After trying several other activities, she decided that she wanted to try out diving at nine years old. Emma dove for a club team for five years until she reached 8th grade and the thought of diving in college entered her mind. In 9th grade, Emma knew she needed to start training with the best of the best if she wanted to be recruited. Her passion for diving led her to move to Orlando to start diving for the YMCA of Central Florida where she knew she could become an even better diver. |
