Plantation, Fla. native Cady Kashner '03, who last month won the NCAA Division III Diving Championship for the 1-meter, was featured in a Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel article (4/6/03) about her accomplishments. According to the article, "Kashner called her win 'the biggest comeback ever,' especially since she took off for eight months to travel to China during her junior year. 'Winning the national championship is one of the things I will be most proud of next to graduating and learning Chinese. It feels great,' said Kashner."
Kashner also placed seventh in the 3-meter NCAA competition.
According to the article: "Kashner said Hamilton College, with 1,800 students, has one of the best Chinese language programs in the country. She said she would like to go to China to teach English and travel around for a year to improve her language skills and then work for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
"Kashner has broken all of the diving records at Hamilton College despite diving just two years at the school. Kashner was a collegiate All-American in both her freshman and senior years and became only the second female Hamilton athlete to win a national title. Maggy Hanson took first in the country in track."
