Pfeil jumped for Avon Lake High School and made history last season by becoming the first athlete from Lorain County to win a state diving championship. She won the 1-meter diving competition at the OHSAA state championship in February, scoring 454.35 points in her 11 dives.
Just one week before the state championships, Pfeil achieved her highest result to date on the 1-meter springboard (11 jumps), collecting 471.35 points and taking first place at the district championships.
Pfeil competed in the Ohio State Championships three times during her high school career, placing 9th (390.70) in 2023 and 16th (387.05) in 2022. She trains year-round with the Berea-Midpark Diving Club.
Pfeil has been diving for six years, and prior to that she was a gymnast for six years. After finishing her diving career in high school, she was close to deciding not to dive in college and instead just focus on her studies before ultimately deciding to dive at FGCU.
