About Anna:
Emerging from the heart of Texas, Anna qualified for "senior" nationals at the age of 14 finishing 5th on platform. This feat is even more impressive considering the fact that she only began diving at the age of 10. Equally adept at synchro, she teamed with Mary Beth Dunnichay to finish 2nd at the ATT&T FINA Grand Prix in her international debut. Now at age 16 she is poised for a run at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
