Sherman Diving Club had an exciting start to the summer with three of the team's divers qualified to compete in the prestigious Zone Diving Championship held in Beaverton, Oregon June 13-16. Coach Steve Sherman was excited with the outcome with all three divers qualifying for the final round where top divers from across the country will compete at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Michael Solomon, 12 years old, did best on his front double flip, 11-year-old Sophie Lehane was very proud of her inward 1 1/2 , and 10-year-old Jake Solomon was surprised that his front 1 1/2 went so well.
"Diving at zones was a wonderful experience! I am extremely excited that everyone on our team who went to zones will now be traveling to nationals," said Jake Solomon. The divers Michael, Jake, and Sophie each got within the top seven divers in each of their events.
