Alicen "Ali" Divita started vaulting when she was 12 years old. She is a fierce competitor who doesn’t let much get in her way. In the summer of 2003, Divita broke her left arm and was unable to compete or practice until two weeks before nationals when her cast came off. She won every event she competed in and earned first place overall for the Bronze competition. In 2004, Divita was the USEF/AVA Women’s Silver National Champion.
