Justin Youtsey’s drive to diving excellence has been a long one. Literally a long one. While diving in high school Youtsey, would spend an hour each way going from his home in Fort Mitchell, Ky., to Miami University of Ohio, a roughly 45-mile drive one way, just to get to practice. Every day.
“We didn’t have any diving facilities where I’m from in Kentucky, so I drove an hour every single day with (Auburn teammates) Morgan (Mullins) and Carly (Scheper) and we bonded through diving and ever since I’ve been diving,” Youtsey said.
Youtsey’s path to diving is a very familiar one.
