A relative latecomer to the world of competitive high diving, the Texan-born athlete had already caught the eye with an impressive 4th place finish at the 2024 World Championships in Doha, but few could have predicted what was to come.

A runner-up spot at her World Series debut in Boston gave Arnett a dream start, and just three weeks later she proved it was no fluke when she repeated the feat in Polignano a Mare. It was clear Rhiannan Iffland had a serious new contender to deal with.
