KG: What's a day in the life of Chris Heaton like?
CH: I get up at 6:30 a.m. and I'm at the pool by 6:45. We stretch, do abs and warm up and we're on the boards by 7. At 7:50, we sprint to the Gross Center and lift from 8 to 9. Then I have class and lunch and an afternoon workout. I got to my evening lab, then study tables, do more homework, then go to bed.
KG: What's your major? What do you plan on doing with it?
CH: I'm an exercise science major. I want to be the strength and conditioning specialist at a Division 1 college in the SEC (Southeastern Conference) or PAC-10 (Pacific-10 Conference).
KG: What's your dream job?
CH: Getting that job at an Olympic training center.
KG: What are your goals this year?
CH: I'd like to break a 400 on the three-meter and 375 on the one-meter. I'd like to be top eight at NCAA. My main goal is to win both the one-meter and the three-meter at the conference for the fourth year in a row because no one has ever done that before.
KG: What about team goals?
CH: We're a strong team, we want another conference ring. We just joined the MAC Sunbelt and we'd like to try for top five there.
KG: What do you like to do for fun?
CH: When it's nice out I like to play softball with the guys or get some ultimate frisbee going. I also love movies-I watch so many movies.
KG: What are your top three picks?
CH: Remember the Titans, Gladiator and Dodgeball.
