SUMMARY:British Junior Elites Championships 2025
DESCRIPTION:This weekend\, an eight-strong team of Plymouth Divers took part in the British Junior Elite Championships\, which doubles up not only as the highest level of national competition for this cadre of divers\, but also as the selection trial for the Junior European Championships this June in Greece. \nPlymouth’s youngest female athlete at the competition\, Isla Applin\, qualified comfortably for the Group C girls 1m final\, winning a prize for the highest scoring required dives. In the final\, Isla finished 4th with an impressive score of 268.1\, less than 4 points away from the bronze medal position. On 3m however\, coming third in both her preliminary and final resulted in an individual bronze medal. \nHarry Westbury was competing in his first ever British Junior Elites\, but made an instant impact in the Boys Group C competition. His weekend began with a bronze medal on 3m\, with just 2.15 points separating the British medallists. On 1m\, Harry not only qualified in 1st position but put together a masterclass of a final performance\, with 7s on every dive\, earning him his first Junior Elite gold with a huge score of 300.55! \nIn the Group A Boys 1m\, both Plymouth participants – Ollie Heath and Archie Waines – qualified comfortably in 2nd and 5th place for the final in a crowded prelim of 21 divers. Ollie came tantalisingly close to a bronze medal\, finishing just one-tenth of a point behind Southend’s Todd Geggus\, despite an accomplished performance in the final. \nThe same pair also competed in the 3m Group A Boys competition\, joined by Noah Underwood. Ollie qualified in 7th\, but climbed up to 6th in the final standings thanks to two 60+ point dives. \nOn the platform\, Noah qualified in 8th for the final but saved his best for the last round of the final\, a back 2 ½ somersaults with 1 ½ twists from 10 metres which wowed the judges for 8s and 8.5s\, scoring a whopping 78.4 points and moving up into 6th place. It was also a personal best score on this dive list for Noah\, who was competing in Group A for the first time this year. \nScarlett Colbourne\, Lexi Davies and Amelie Underwood were Plymouth’s most senior female divers at this event and in the Group A Girls 1m\, consisting of 27 divers (including 5 international guests)\, Lexi\, competing in her first Junior Elites\, finished in 18th while Scarlett narrowly missed out on the final in 10th place. Amelie qualified as the top British diver and followed this up with a solidly consistent final performance to win 1m gold. \nThe same divers also competed in the 3m event. After a gruelling 2hr 30 preliminary\, it was Lexi who just missed out on qualification in 11th place but improved significantly on her 1m score and beating her PB by 46 points. Amelie and Scarlett qualified in 1st and 3rd place\, setting up a thrilling 3m finale which became a battle for 1st place between Amelie and Scarlett. Amelie showed her experience to take home her 2nd gold medal of the weekend\, while Scarlett took a well-deserved silver medal\, after producing one of her best ever performances. \nThe weekend also saw some Plymouth pairings take to the boards in the 3m synchro competitions. Amelie Underwood teamed up with London’s Caitlin Coster and won 16-18 Girls silver in a tight event where fewer than 5 points separated the podium places. Scarlett Colbourne and Lexi Davies were not far behind the medal action in 4th with a consistent performance and another PB score. In the Boys 16-18 3m synchro\, Archie Waines and Ollie Heath teamed up and emerged victorious in a close battle for the silver medal thanks to a cracking 60-point final dive. \nRounding off the synchro medals was Isla Applin who joined up with Southampton’s Ella Swete to finish third\, earning Isla a second bronze medal of the weekend. \nCongratulations to the Plymouth Junior Elite squad for all of their efforts and achievements over the weekend\, and a massive thank you to Junior Elite coaches Sally Freeman and Fito Gutierrez for nurturing and developing these talented divers\, as well as to the judges\, officials and volunteers who made the event run smoothly. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sandwell Showdown 2025
DESCRIPTION:A twenty-two strong team of Plymouth divers sponsored by Pilkington Estates and Wollens Solicitors\, spent three days of the Easter weekend competing in the Sandwell Showdown Regional Diving Competition held at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.  In its first year it was a chance for the twelve contending teams to showcase the talent each club has on offer.  The event attracted teams from throughout the UK looking to win medals\, hit personal bests and gain qualification for the National Age Group Finals in June. \nPlymouth’s youngest divers were competing in the Group D events with Theo Wills and Bobby Cole diving all three boards for the boys. Both divers produced some amazing dives in only their second competition at this level. Theo achieved National scores on 3m and Platform and won a well-deserved bronze on Platform in a very close competition with teammate Bobby who achieved National scores on 1m\, 3m and Platform scooping a silver medal on 1m and Platform plus a bronze on 3m.  \nIn the girls Group D events Phoebe-Mae Evans\, Lyra Johnson and Myia Lilley were all gaining valuable experience at this level and looking to test out their new dives. Phoebe-Mae and Lyra dived excellently on 1m and 3m with both divers achieving one qualification score. Myia had a successful event gaining qualification scores on 1m\, 3m and Platform and winning a brilliant bronze on Platform with two superb final dives.   \nLibby Edelson\, Emily Williams\, Alice Jones and Teagan Mousley represented the girls Group C Age Group divers. Libby dived consistently in all events and gained qualifying scores on 1m and Platform winning a silver medal on Platform in an all-Plymouth podium with Alice and Teagan. Emily dived well in all events and gained valuable experience at this level. However\, it was Teagan and Alice that battled each other on all 3 boards for the medals\, with Teagan diving several new more challenging dives for the first time in competition. Both divers hit qualification scores on all 3 boards with Teagan wining gold on 1m and bronze on Platform. Alice had a weekend to remember winning gold on Platform\, silver on 1m and bronze on 3m with some brilliant diving throughout.   \nThe Group C Age Group boys included Seth Greentree and Daniel Robinson. Daniel was competing in his first full event at this level and dived well on all boards gaining loads of experience and picking up a lustrous bronze on 1m and Platform. Seth was pushed hard by several divers from other clubs but dived superbly on his way to gold on 1m and silver on 3m and Platform. \nPoppy Jones was the only Age Group B girl from Plymouth. Producing a string of outstanding dives including the events highest scoring dive\, a front two and half somersaults off 7m\, saw Poppy win a glorious gold.  Her performances on 1m and 3m were equally as impressive winning gold in both to make it a clean sweep at the event.   \nThe Age Group B boys also did themselves proud.  Charlie Clinick once again showing improvement on all three boards and gaining experience at this level against some excellent divers. However\, it was his two teammates that traded positions on all three boards with some demanding dives. Oscar Westbury and Lincoln Stephens shared the podium on all three boards. Lincoln dived consistently well all weekend and ended the event with bonze on 1m\, silver on 3m and gold on Platform with his final dive securing the gold. Oscar showed his class on all three boards with excellent dives finishing with silver on 1m and Platform with a gold on 3m after a sensational twisting dive which scored him over 50 points.  \nIn a relatively small field of divers Louie McCue was the standout diver in the boys Age Group A events. He dived well all weekend and produced some high scoring dives on his way to winning silver on 1m and two well deserved golds on 3m and Platform.  \nThe Age Group A girls events were the busiest category at the event with thirteen divers competing. Plymouth divers faired very well with Martha Ticehurst\, Erin Healey and Evie Royal all producing solid dives to secure top 10 finishes. Eva Lang and Rose McCabe dived very well on all boards with both divers securing excellent bronze medals on 1m and 3m respectively. However\, it was their teammate Maddie Elliott that produced some of the best diving of the event.  With scores close to 50 points for her last two dives on Platform Maddie proved unbeatable.  She was also ahead of the pack on 1m and 3m to win a full set of gold medals\, equalling Poppy’s success. \nWith so many amazing performances with over 30 medals and well over 20 personal bests\, the icing on the cake for Plymouth Diving was winning the overall team trophy for the best performing team at the event.    \nThe divers and parents would also like to show their appreciation to the dedicated coaching staff and volunteers that made the weekend possible.
