ICING ON THE CAKE: After the District 5A Diving Meet today in Round Rock, junior Iris Burns-Traganovsky (left) poses for photos with two LASA diver friends, Elizabeth Bircher (center) and Frogby Sachs (right).

Burns-Trahanovsky dove in the girls one-meter diving competition and received second place. Bircher was first; Sachs, fourth. By finishing second, Burns-Trahanovsky advances to Regionals in San Antonio next weekend. 

The result was especially satisfying given a few extenuating circumstances surrounding today’s meet, according to Burns-Trahanovsky. 

“I’m currently only diving feet first because I injured my thumb,” Burns-Trahanovsky said. 

Coach Jeff Rudy was surprised when Burns-Trahanovksy was cleared to compete in the competition. Originally, Burns-Trahanovsky was not planning to compete until around a week ago. 

“[The feet first dives] presented some obvious challenges as she had to learn many new dives,” Rudy said. “Finishing second was certainly icing on the cake!”

Burns-Trahanovsky’s last dive was her favorite part of the whole competition. 

“It was one of my easier dives, but I’d had a pretty mediocre competition until then,” Burns-Trahanovsky said. “And I did the last one really well.” 

Burns Trahanovsky is most looking forward to competing at the state meet at UT if she qualifies at the regional meet in San Antonio. 

“I’m really looking forward to state if I make it, since I’ll be back to doing my regular dives,” Burns-Trahanovsky said. “It’s also just such a fun meet because I never really get to compete at my home pool.”
