YCF came out strong after competing in our first JO National Championships the first week of August in Knoxville.  In overall team standings we finished seventh and we had several standout performances!  Special congratulations to our two National Champions Wallace Layland and Rafael Quintero.  Wallace first won the womens 14-18 platform synchronized title and then followed it up the next night with a 14-15 girls platform championship!  With Wally’s victory she qualified for the US National Team and will compete at Jr Pan American Games in Coloumbia in September.  In his first apperance at JO Nationals, Rafael easily won the boys 16-18 mens’ platform compeition.  Rafa will also be competing in the Pan Am Games for Puerto Rico.  We also had great performances by Mya Kreager and Grace Cable who finaled in all 3 events in their age group and Grayson Kim and Maggie Merrimen who also were finalists.  Overall we did a great job! Congratulations to everyone.

 As most of you know last week we had our Zones Championships in Moultrie, GA which is the qualifying meet for Junior Olympic Nationals. The top 6 finishers on each event qualify for Junior Nationals while 7-12 qualify for the Age Group Championships. Our team had several great performances resulting in 10 divers quaifying for JO Nationals and 3 qualifying for Age Groups. As a team YCF Diving finished 2nd place and will be one of the biggest teams going into nationals! It was a phenomal week for us! Our kids have put in a lot of hard work and made a lot sacrifices to get to this point.  I’m proud of them and I look forward to seeing them all flourish at Nationals.
