Reedy

Quick Facts

• Lauren is the daughter of Dr. Brian Reedy, M.D., and Sherry Reedy, an R.N
• She is the youngest of five siblings (Nicki, Ben, Emily and Troy)
• Lauren began diving at the age of 14 and also played ice hockey and softball growing up
• Because she started the sport late, she says basics and drill work have never been a strong suit for her and spent the extra hours focusing on that in 2016
• When it came time to be recruited, Lauren was still relatively unknown (she never qualified for a junior nationals)
• Mizzou coach James Sweeney found out on the same day that two of the top divers he was recruiting had decided to go to other schools
• Sweeney happened to be talking Legacy Diving coach Buck Smith, Reedy’s club coach, about how he wanted to find someone no one had heard of and make her successful
• Smith told him about Lauren, and she ended up signing with Missouri, where she became an NCAA all-American
• Even though she describes herself as a morning person who will sometimes wake up at 5 a.m. to enjoy the sun rise and stillness of the morning, she says the hardest part about her training is Monday mornings
• When she is not diving, Lauren enjoys reading, biking, hiking, boating, sand volleyball and watching the sun rise.
• Lauren majored in nutritional sciences and pre-med at Missouri
• Now trains in North Carolina
