Hayden made history a second time over because she became the first Black US diver to earn a berth to the FINA World Championships; they take place in Japan next May."Quinn and I did awesome," Hayden, from Hillsborough, NJ,,"we came in with an open mindset. We just wanted to have fun. Of course, we wanted to make the team but it was also our first time doing synchro together and we just wanted to do the dives the best we can.
"You read about people like that, you watch Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Simone Manuel, but when it's yourself it's insane." When asked about her history-making results, Hayden said,"I don't think words can even describe the feeling." She added,"You read about people like that, you watch Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Simone Manuel, but when it's yourself it's insane. I think the whole diving community is headed in the right direction and I just want to be a good example for young Black Americans or any minority really for diving in the US.
Ahead, see a short clip of Hayden embracing her partner after their performance clinched history for her:
