The junior took first place with 446.35 points. Bluestein edged second-place finisher Annie Bingle (446.32) of Greenwich Academy.

“I had finished every practice with a good dive,” Bluestein said. “Just to get my mentality going so I would be consistent. I came out and knew it was good.”

Bluestein also won the championship as freshman in 2018. Bingle won the NEPSAC championship last season.   

“It means a lot because last year I lost,” Bluestein said. “We are very close  every year. I came out winning and it show that I have been working on consistency. That really showed today which I am really happy with.”
