What they’re saying

“I've worked really hard this season and instituted a lot of new dives into my program. I was really nervous going into those last two dives. I was a little short during warmups, especially on the inward double, but when it came to the competition I was able to land it. I'm so proud of what I've been able to accomplish.”

— Micah White (The Times-Tribune)

“I think I had a great meet for myself, to be able to take this title again shows you could accomplish whatever you put your mind to. I'm looking forward to states. My goal is to do better than I did last year and get into the top three. I just have to continue to do my best like I've been trying to do all season.”

— Megan Kuzma (The Times-Tribune)

“I felt pretty good all day and coming into this meet. My coach (Ken Alguire) has really pushed me hard and gotten me ready for this. I couldn't thank him enough for getting me to come out for this sport and pushing me hard every day.”

— Blayne Roosa (The Times-Tribune)

“I started off a little rough, but my first five dives were my hardest ones and that gave me the confidence to finish strong. I'm glad I was able to finish strong. This season has been so much fun, I love all of my Pittston teammates and am glad I was able to get this medal to end my season.”
