Diving coach Tanner Bauman reflected on the season, “It’s been a pretty good season, it has been tough though since we haven’t won a whole lot and we’ve had quite a few kids with injuries….but I hope it will be better next season.”
Up next the team starts tapering for JV Champs and Sections to wrap up their season.
