Regis Jesuit senior Kyle Goodwin, who has won three consecutive Class 5A individual diving championships as part of the Raiders’ swim and dive team, has committed to Missouri.
“It was a tough decision, but we think he made a good choice,” Goodwin’s mother, Lisa, wrote in an email on Wednesday night.
Last spring, Goodwin’s mark of 559.25 points in the 1-meter event was the fifth-highest in state history. It set him up with a chance to be the first boy to win four diving titles in state history.
That followed championships as a sophomore (525.05 points) and a freshman (533.25).
Former St. Mary’s Academy diver Alexa Beckwith, herself a four-time diving champion, is a freshman at Missouri this fall.
Missouri finished 16th as team at the NCAA championships last season.
