Add Kimi Schmidt to Westfield State’s lengthy list of talented divers as she placed first in the one and three meter diving at the New England Intercollegiate Swimming & Diving Association (NEISDA) Division II/III championships at UMass Dartmouth on Feb. 20-22.
“It feels really good,” said the freshman standout from Longmeadow, who set school records in both events and has qualified provisionally for the NCAA Division III national championships, which will be held March 18-21 in Minneapolis. “It wasn’t really a goal of mine. I was just trying to do the best that I could.”
Schmidt, who has been diving since she was nine years old, describes college as a huge change but it’s a transition that she welcomes.
“There is much more talent here than in high school,” she said. “And we are a tight group that supports each other.”
Dave Laing, Westfield State’s veteran head coach who was an All American diver at Springfield College, says this about his gifted group of divers: “They all push each other and support each other; they don’t look at each other being better than the next, It’s the greatest thing to have six talented divers.”

The closing of the Campus Center pool has created a struggle for the Westfield State College swimming and diving team.
The pool closing is because of the new federal law - Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act - that took effect earlier this year. The law calls for pools to meet specific standards for the installation of drain covers.
Westfield State’s pool does not meet these standards, and the L-shaped drain covers it needs are not available yet, making it even more frustrating in the efforts to re-open the pool.
