SWIMMING AND DIVING
East diver wins, sets record
BLOOMINGTON — Freshman Gabbie Meier broke Columbus East’s 11-dive school record with 368.25 points Saturday to win the Bloomington North Diving Invitational.
Meier was in fourth place among the 17 girls divers after five dives and second after eight dives before moving into the top spot.
“Despite the conditions of the pool (extremely cold, to the point it started to become tough to stop shivering enough to perform a dive), everyone did a great job,” East diving coach Nancy Snyder said. “With this being Gabbie’s first year in diving and at an 11-dive meet as a freshman, she had a great meet. While this is her first year in diving, she brings a lot of experience from her gymnastic background.”
Columbus North’s Helen Alderfer finished seventh in the girls competition with 268.50. Emily Martin (209.80), Claire Bugert (203.35) and Hailey Harden (156.20) were 10th, 11th and 12th.
North’s Cole Wheeler finished second in the boys competition with 373.80, followed by teammates Kyan Jiles in third (369.10) and DeShawn Austin in fifth (348.05). East’s Mark Mathis (262.20) and Connor English (255.85) took seventh and eighth.
