Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
A national champion in 2008, Chelsea Davis had a phenomenal career as a diver at Ohio State. Her national title on three-meter was the fourth diving championship in the history of the women's program and first since 2003. Davis was an All-American diver in 2008 as well as 2010, the same year she was awarded the Big Ten Medal of Honor. She is one of two members of Ohio State's women's swimming and diving program to be awarded the most prestigious academic honor the Big Ten has to offer.
An Academic All-American, four-time OSU Scholar Athlete and three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Davis was named the NCAA Tri-Diver of the Year after her national championship-winning performance. She competed at the 2008 Olympic Trials on three-meter springboard, finishing tenth. A Wayne Duke Postgraduate Scholarship recipient, she won a Big Ten Championship on three-meter and was an All-American in 2006 at Northwestern before transferring to Ohio State.
An All-American in 1982, Nancy Pearson helped put Ohio State women's swimming on the map. She was a two-time Big Ten Champion as a member of the 800 freestyle relay, helping bring home titles in that event in 1982 and 1983. With her leadership and excellence in the pool, Ohio State rattled off five consecutive Big Ten championships starting in 1982.
Pearson was a model of consistent improvement during her career; she scored for Ohio State in each of her five events at Big Ten Championships in all four years of her career, and she improved upon her times in those events with each successive season. In 1981 she was the Ohio Collegiate Champion in the 1650 freestyle. Upon her departure from the Buckeyes she was the school record holder in the 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyles as well as one of the record-setters in the 800 freestyle relay. A Big Ten Medal of Honor winner in 1983, she was also a four-time scholar athlete and graduated summa cum laude from the College of Education.

Going back to the previous post, Chelsea spent part of her residency with OSU PT covering rugby. She is a phenomenal PT and even better person. We were all pretty excited to see her get inducted into the OSU HOF.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF OHIO STATE DIVER LYLE YOST
To a casual observer, national- and Olympic-caliber diving is an incredibly physical sport.
But spending a day with a diver who is trying to make it to the games in Tokyo or Paris makes one realize just how cerebral the event is.
Diving at that level requires a special mentality, self-awareness and ability to overcome fear that transcends the sport and bleeds into other elements of the athlete’s life.
Ohio State freshman diver Lyle Yost, a former junior national champion with Olympic dreams for 2020 and goals for 2024, said the payoff for those who can bottle up their fear for the 10 seconds it takes to walk down a board and somersault from it is incredible.
“You hit the water and the fear — it’s not necessarily gone, because it might still be a scary dive,” Yost said. “And you might be scared to go up and do it again. But you hit the water, and it’s a fantastic feeling.”
It was 8 a.m.
Most Ohio State students would be hitting the snooze button one last time or sleeping through an early morning lecture, but the Buckeye diving team warmed up with a few basic techniques.
Yost leapt skyward from a 1-meter-high springboard, tucked and flipped forward three times in the air before slipping into the swirling blue pool below without a splash.
Practice was a blend of jokes and skill. Mixed in among technique breakdowns and film review were exaggerated cries of pain when divers over- or under-rotated and playful jabs of “this guy sucks.”
“When you’re doing what you love, you’re able to have a good time, and we’re all with our brothers out there,” sophomore diver Jacob Fielding said. “We’re just trying to have fun to get through the practice.”
Fielding and Yost were synchronized partners for junior competitions while the former was still a freshman with the Buckeyes and the latter was in high school, which allowed Yost to build a relationship with Ohio State diving coach Justin Sochor. Originally, Yost said he wanted to leave the state for college, but he meshed well with Sochor’s fun, visual teaching style.
The manner in which practice operates sets Ohio State diving apart, Sochor said, adding that most divers come from gymnastics, skateboarding or snowboarding backgrounds and have an affinity for taking risks.
“If you take all that away and just run it like an army, you’re taking some of that personality out of them,” Sochor said. “That personality is part of what made them so good at it.”
Sochor’s impact on Yost dates back to 1995.
It was that year that, as a senior at Cleveland State, Sochor coached the Beachwood High School diving team in Beachwood, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. He doubled the size of the squad in one year.
“After that first season, I started getting phone calls from parents of the divers that I coached,” Sochor said. “[They were] begging to continue diving because their grades went up, they were happier, they had more friends.”

Kevin Warren is an ass
For the first time in more than three decades, the Ohio State women’s swimming and diving team took home a Big Ten conference championship — the sixth in program history. The squad took the first-place spot in the first day of competition, and didn’t relinquish its lead throughout the remainder of competition in Iowa City.
Ohio State finished competition with 1,503.5 points - 197 ahead of second-place finisher Michigan. Indiana, Northwestern and Wisconsin rounded out the top-five.
