By Janice | December 2, 2008
In our first Level I diving meet of the season, K|W diving club came home with stellar results.
Kate Brechun, diving Women’s open this year (any diver, any age), had a fantastic start to the season. Kate was awarded the bronze medal on both 1 meter and 3 meter boards, along with qualifying for senior nationals on 3 meter. Kate’s score and placing earned her a spot on the Canada Games Training Camp Team. She will travel with the team to Victoria in February, 2009.
Andrew Dolson, dove in both Men’s A (age 16 to 18), and in Men’s open. Andrew was out of diving for most of last season, with a wrist injury. This was his first meet in over eight months, and he dove exceptionally well. In Men’s A, Andrew placed 5th on both 1 meter and 3 meter boards. He achieved national qualifying scores on both boards, his first time attaining this goal. He also placed 8th on both boards in the Men’s open.
Brett Gillis has moved up to a new age group this year, Men’s B (age 14-15). In his first competition ever at this level, he earned the bronze medal on platform, the bronze on 3 meter and 4th on 1 meter. Brett was well above qualifying scores in all three events for Age Group Nationals. Brett dove open and placed 6th on platform 6th on 3 meter and 4th on 1 meter.
C.J. Moore also dove in Men’s B (age 14 to 15). He received silver on the platform, silver on the 3 meter, and gold on the 1 meter. C.J. qualified for Age Group Nationals on all boards. In the open category, C.J. was 4th on platform, 7th on 1 meter and received the silver on 3 meter. C.J. achieved senior qualifying scores on the 3 meter and is eligible for winter seniors.

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.
