SUMMARY:British Junior Elites
DESCRIPTION:The British Elite Junior Diving Championships\, which was hosted by British Diving and Plymouth Active returned to the Life Centre\, concluding its four-day event on Sunday\, where the best young divers in each age group competed for the national title. \n\nAn achievement to even compete\, athletes from across the nation and guests from Canada\, Germany and Finland competed. Plymouth Diving was represented by a small but strong team of seven coached by Sally Freeman and Fito Gutierrez. \n\nIn group A boys (16-18) Plymouth were represented by Euan McCabe who claimed the gold medal after qualifying first in the preliminary round and a huge PB of 31 points.  Teammate Archie Waines took the silver medal in the same event with a great performance which saw him move from 5th place in the qualifying round to second in the finals. He also competed on the 1m. \n\nThe boys were further represented in the B group with Oliver Heath and Theo Stevens. Theo reached the final on the 1m board\, and finished in 4th place\, just 3 points off bronze; a great achievement following being besieged by injuries and sickness which led to him almost being unable to compete. He also competed on the 3m. Team-mate Oliver had a fantastic competition on all three boards\, making it through to the finals on each\, and continuing to keep his nerve and gain a silver on both the 1m and 3m\, and a bronze medal on platform. \n\nFor the girls\, Amelie Underwood in group B had a great competition qualifying in first place in the preliminary rounds for both of her events and going on to win silver on 3m missing the gold by less than 2 points and bronze on the 1m.  \n\nKatie Martin and Maia Pearson represented Plymouth in group A girls. Katie qualified for the finals on 1m qualifying in 4th place and going on to compete a lovely set of dives and finish in 5th place. She narrowly missed out on the finals on 3m in 8th place.  \nMaia stepped up to her first Junior Elites Championships which provided a wealth of experience to build upon and whilst did not make the finals finished in 13th on 3m with some great dives and on 1m.  \n\nKatie and Maia also paired up for the synchro event on the 3m board. The pair managed to recover an unfortunate dive to finish in 4th place. Amelie Underwood and her partner Corin Burrows Mackley from Dive London Aquatics also competed and finished in 6th. \n\nThe boys synchro saw Oliver and Archie finishing in 5th position whilst Euan and Jake Passmore from City of Leeds Diving claimed another gold bringing the tally of medals for Plymouths team to 2 Golds\, 4 Silvers and 2 Bronze medals. \nHaving coached them through the championships\, coach Sally said “The team continues to go from strength to strength\, bearing in mind these athletes lost 17 months of training in Plymouth through Covid\, but they are still here and justifiably earnt their place in a British Junior final\, which is fantastic. True resilience!” \n\nEuan\, Oliver\, and Amelie have now to continue their training to prepare them for their next competition\, representing Team GB in Dresden\, Germany at the International Youth Diving meet from 27th April. \n\n

SUMMARY:Dresden
DESCRIPTION:Three divers from Plymouth Diving and coach Fito Gutierrez have just spent the last week in Dresden\, Germany representing GBR at the 10th Youth International Meet. \nEuan McCabe is an experienced international diver and first competed at this meet back in 2019.  Bravely finishing his round of dives in the boys group A final with a reverse three and a half somersaults paid off and secured the silver medal on the 3m springboard.  Fellow team mate Leon Baker from Southampton Diving Academy joined him on the podium to claim the bronze.  Both of them put in a sterling performance to achieve a score of over five hundred points. \nGroup B divers Amelie Underwood and Ollie Heath both made their debut for GBR at this competition.  Having previously dived for England last year\, Amelie has already experienced this level of competition.  Training at an elite level takes its toll on the body and unfortunately Amelie has recently been battling against injury.  Despite this\, Amelie qualified for both springboard finals.  She finished sixth on 1m and ninth on 3m and was the highest placed GBR diver in her age category on both boards. \nOllie first became interested in diving at the age of four after watching the 2012 Olympics.  Starting out in the Mighty Mini Squad when he progressed to the Elite Development Squad the gymnastic lessons were shelved due to his commitment to diving.  In November 2019 after a gruelling selection process Ollie made the grade to join the Swim England Z Team.  Breaking his foot on the 1m springboard in February 2020 followed by lockdown meant that this talented team of divers did not experience the full benefit of this achievement.  Now part of the Elite National Squad\, Ollie has a busy schedule juggling his studies at Plymouth College with training at the Life Centre where he is coached by Sally Freeman. \nSo far\, this season of diving has been particularly fruitful for Ollie.  Winning an individual medal on every board at the Armada Cup and British Junior Elites his performances did not go unnoticed by the GBR selection team. \nAt Dresden the 3m preliminary round was going particularly well for Ollie and he was lying in fifth place until the final dive.  Over twisting on his back one and a half somersaults with two and a half twists cost him several points.  Unperturbed and determined to perform well in the final he clawed back points to finish in fifth place.  Ollie put his heart and soul into the 1m board to finish fourth in the final.  Team mate Oscar Kane from Dive London Aquatics Club was outstanding in both of the springboard events to win two golds for GBR. \nPlymouth Diving is steadily growing thanks to the inspirational results achieved by our divers.  Their success is down to raw talent nurtured by the coaches\, the facilities at the Life Centre\, Plymouth Active Leisure and financial support from Pilkington Estates.

SUMMARY:Great Britain Diving Federation Spring Masters
DESCRIPTION:Harry Is Back On Board!  \nHarry Mason began his competitive diving career in 2010.  With many competitions under his belt and a plethora of medals he unfortunately had to retire in 2018 due to injury.  At the age of twenty-four and a five year absence Harry could no could no longer ignore the yearning to compete again.  Last weekend he travelled to Southend to take part in the Great Britain Diving Federation Spring Masters where he represented Plymouth Diving.  His opening event on the 1m springboard could not have gone better.  After a consistent round of well executed dives there was only one possible outcome which was to finish at the top of the podium to win the gold medal.  This calm and unswerving approach continued onto the 3m springboard event where he finished with the silver medal. \nHarry is a coach at the Plymouth Life Centre and is responsible for the progress of the Development Age Group and Mighty Mini Squad.  Without doubt his performance will inspire his divers on to succeed.

Eva and Martha Ticehurst also put in some amazing dives in all events. PB’s were achieved by Erin\, Lexi\, Eva\, Rose\, Martha and Alex. However\, diver of the day in this category was undoubtedly Erin who produced a string of excellent dives to finish with a full set of medals with gold on 3m\, silver on Platform and bronze on 1m.   \n\nIn the C category for 12 and 13 year olds Ava Cowper made the National Finals qualifying score on Platform also getting a fantastic bronze medal and PB. Oscar Westbury put in a strong performance across all 3 events with two 4th place finishes and bronze on Platform. Isaac Ide\, Lincoln Stephens and Poppy Jones despite carrying an injury\, also performed well and gained valuable experience at this level with a raft of PB’s being achieved. \n\nThe youngest divers in the competition were in the D category for 10 and 11 year old divers with Alice Jones\, Isla Applin and Harry Westbury achieving National Finals qualifying scores. Harry dived well despite just returning from injury and won silver in the 1m and 3m events. In the girls events Isla produced some great dives to win bronze on the 1m and 3m board. Teagan Mousley and Alice produced some of their best diving when it counted with Teagan winning bronze on Platform and Alice coming 4th. \n   \nOverall\, the weekend was a resounding success with the Plymouth divers once again showing why the city has a reputation for producing some of the best divers in the country. The club would like to thank the amazing coaches Tommy Davis and Harry Mason along with Mark Jones for taking on the judging responsibilities.  \n
