She also coached the Wayland High School men & women’s diving teams to victories in the state championship. A Massachusetts native, Pond attended Wayland High School where she was a three-year varsity diver and captain of the team. She also earned MVP and DCL All-Star honors while at Wayland. Pond earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from UMass Amherst, where she was a diver for three years.
