“This group of divers keeps impressing me meet after meet. After being on the road and competing three weekends in a row, having a rest week going into this one made a huge difference. Our men scored significant points that helped secure the team win, and our women were equally impressive. They continue to push each other, improve every week, and it’s showing both in their dives and how they carry themselves on the pool deck. I couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait to see how the rest of the weekend goes!”
