Sarah Bacon<\/strong> had all year to think about it.<\/p>\n

She thought about it every single day.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota diver missed a dive at last year\u2019s NCAA Division I Women\u2019s Championships. It cost her nearly 50 points \u2014\u00a0and a championship. Bacon finished second on 1-meter and knew she could have been first.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t let hit get her down, though. It motivated her every single day for an entire year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt weighed on me a lot,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it just makes you work harder, pushes you every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

That motivation worked as Bacon surged to the national title on the 1-meter board on Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. She finished with 343.50 points, holding off runner-up Julia Vincent<\/strong> of South Carolina by 10 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means everything,\u201d she said. \u201cI was second in the same event last year. A whole year with the training and trying to come back and be the national champion. Being able to do that really means a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having the Big Ten Championships at Ohio State was also a mental boost for Bacon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time you have a meet before at the same pool, it helps you get used to the boards and get dialed in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

That comfort level led to a huge performance for the Golden Gophers.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, I missed my fifth-round dive \u2014 a front and a half double twist \u2014\u00a0which I think I got 62 points on it today. It was really improved. I missed it last year and missed 50 points and got second. It has come a long way and I was able to win with that dive,\u201d she said. \u201cI was really consistent all the way through the event. I knew I had to be consistent because I don\u2019t have as many big dives as other girls in the event,\u201d Bacon said. \u201cThe other girls were doing 3.0 degree of difficulties and my highest degree of difficulty is 2.6. So staying consistent and staying calm really helped me secure that win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
