Grace Murphy stood on the edge of one of the diving boards at Hill Pool, which she had practiced on for all four of her years on the swim and dive team at Pioneer High School. Tonight would be her last meet at Hill Pool, as well as her last chance to qualify for the State Championship Meet, which was only a week away. Murphy performed the first dive of the evening at Regionals, which marked the start of the first round of eleven. 25 divers from high schools in Southeastern Michigan competed for the top 20 places to make semi-finals and later the top 16 to make finals. Camryn Mcpherson (Saline), Amanda Ling (Walled Lake Central) and Zain Smith (AA Skyline) continuously fought for the top 3 places as the eleven rounds went on. The top 12 finishers by the end of round eleven qualified for the State Championship Meet.
