Hornet Sports News from this week:
· Kudos to Junior Nicole Brehm for placing in three categories at the AAU National Diving Competition, held in early August @ Mission Viejo, California! Nicole competed against 16-19 year olds, and placed 3rd in the 3 meter, 5th in the 1 meter & 5th in platform. Divers represented 52 teams, and there were anywhere from 30-82 competitors in each event. This qualified her to join the national level team for the China training trip that takes place at the end of this month. During this 2 week trip, beginning August 31, Nicole will also compete in a small international competition against the China and Canada teams. Good luck, Nicole!
