Brett Wilmot’s seventeen-year diving career began at age six at the Martin's Dam Swim Club in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Over the
years, he competed for Conestoga High School, the LaSalle Diving Age-Group Team and lastly for the University of Michigan under the legendary five-time Olympic coach, Dick Kimball. Wilmot earned a spot in the Big Ten Championship finals in each of his four years at
Michigan, and in his final Big Ten platform event, he won his first and only individual Big Ten Championship. During his four years at Michigan where he majored in statistics, Brett was a four-time NCAA Honorable Mention All-American. After his collegiate
eligibility expired in 1999, Wilmot qualified for his first US National Team with an eighth place finish in the 10 Meter Platform event at the US Indoor National Championships in Orlando. His performance earned him one point toward qualifying for the 2000 Olympic
Trials. Needing two points to qualify, Brett placed eighth on platform at the 2000 Spring Nationals, earning his second point, along with an invitation to the 2000 Olympic Trials. His second National Team berth also resulted in an invitation to an international
competition at the Torneo Internacional de Clavados in Juarez, Mexico. There, Brett competed against some of the world's best divers, including 1996 Springboard Olympic Gold Medalist Dmitry Sautin of Russia. Wilmot finished his career at the 2000 US Olympic Trials
by placing 11th in the platform event. Now living in Philadelphia, PA, Brett enjoys his career as a
marketing research analyst for Grant & Eisenhofer. He spends two nights a week assisting Coach May
and the Spinner Diving Team.
