Diving

Over the break the MLC School team competed in the first competition of the season, the Matthew Mitcham Meet. We had four girls qualify for the National Championships in Adelaide in April next year, and five girls on the podium.

A message from the coaches:

‘I was also very impressed with how resilient and encouraging the girls were, as several of them managed to come back from disappointing starts. The girls also showed great sportsmanship throughout the competition, cheering along both their teammates and competitors- I think they did us very proud!’
