By Janice | November 17, 2008

The Kitchener Waterloo Diving Club began its season this weekend with our first meet in Brantford. The club is at an all time high in registered members. We sent a record number of divers to the meet, and were the largest club represented.

The Brantford diving club is a new club, who were hosting their first meet ever. Divers came from Etobicoke, Toronto, Burlington, Scarborough, Niagara, Brantford and our own Kitchener Waterloo. The competition was well run, even though the line ups were long for the boards.

For many of our divers, this was not only the first meet of the season, but their first meet ever, and they competed well, and came home with the “gold” to show for it.

In our introductory level IV, our newest and youngest divers competed on the 1 meter board with these results:

In Age 11 and under – Raine Mahony took Gold and Mayan Reiter took Silver in the girl’s division, and Mohamed Moussa took Gold in the boys.

In the Level III category, we sent our largest contingent of divers. They competed on the l meter board and took home the following:

In Age 11 and under – Jessica Penner took the Silver and Sydney Schumacher came in fourth. Jessica also competed on the 3 meter taking the Gold.

In the boy’s division Nate Grobe took Gold, Bradley Muise took Silver, Jesse Reusser placed sixth, Andrew Pinney came in seventh, Paul Hewson took eighth, Ali Moussa placed ninth, and Jacob Davis came in eleventh place.

In the 12 and 13 year old category, Johnny Lepage took Gold on both boards.

In the 14 and 15 year old category, Matthew Weigel took Gold on the 1 meter, Bradley Norris took Silver and Brawn Mahony finished fourth. Brawn Mahony also competed on the 3 meter and took Gold.

In the 16 and over Category our divers were Emily Lehan taking Silver, Daria Vela placing fourth, and Khoral Hare coming in fifth on 1 meter. Emily also competed on the 3 meter, and took home Silver.

Brady Weis took Gold on both boards.

Thanks to the all our coaches who had a hand in our stellar results, and thank-you to the parents, for their countless hours of dedication to the sport and their divers.

The divers will now come home to begin preparation for their next meet in Scarborough in January.
