Rockville, Maryland – April 15, 2012

In a year when many of their divers moved up in age group, YCF Diving captured 3^rd Place in the team competition at USA Diving’s 2012 Hilton HHonors Junior East National Championships in Rockville, MD.  All of the YCF Divers performed well, but the team was fueled by several outstanding performances.

10 Year Old Grayson Kim of Orlando swept the 11&Under Girls competition capturing 1^st place in both the 1 meter and 3 meter springboard events.  Wallace Layland, also of Orlando, captured 2^nd place in the 16-18 Girls 3 meter springboard and 5^th place in the 1 meter despite just moving into to this age group in 2012.

Similarly, Grace Cable of Winter Park took 2^nd place in 3 meter and 5^th place in 1 meter springboard despite competing in the 12-13 Girls division for the first time.  In her first time competing in the division, Mya Kraeger of Orlando had an impressive showing in the 14-15 Girls placing 3^rd on 1 meter and 7^th on 3 meter springboard.

In all 13 divers from YCF Diving competed in the East National Championships, all of them contributing to the team’s 3^rd place finish.  YCF Divers will be in competition again this weekend in Fort Lauderdale, FL for the YMCA National Championships.
