Girl Divers Support Each Other In Hard Times by T. Shumaker and MB. Simon Statistics, in some cases, are deceiv- ing. In the case of the Girls Diving Team, the statistics do just that. Their record, which turned out to be 5-6-1, doesn ' t really tell the whole story. The girls learned quite a bit from their coach, junior Geoff Hockman. According to Hockman, the girls biggest hurdle to overcome was not the diving itself but the practice schedule. Kris Gosine elabo- rated, The practices themselves were hard but the problem was that they were scattered. We had to go to Seaholm every day, but on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays, we also had to go to Lahser in the evening for lessons. It was finding transportation and arranging schedules that was the hard part. The actual workout included extraor- dinary amounts of sit-ups, push-ups, and jumping jacks. They also used the weight room to work their arm and leg muscles. The practices held at Lahser with other divers were conducted as a class by Happy to be finished with the grueling sit-ups, push-ups, and weight training.

Then when Heil left, Hockman took over as coach. The girls were really supportive of each other and 1 think that is what made the difference between this year ' s team and other years, asserted Hockman. As a first year coach, Hockman found coaching to be a rewar- ding experience. The girls, considering that they are all only sophomores, stayed really cool during the coaching change. After suffering through a dismal start in which the divers failed to win against their first four opponents, the team rallied for several sharp performances, including a season-ending victory over Pioneer. It was hard to pick award winners this year since Hockman had only been with them half a year but he chose Carrie Kohs as Most Valuable Diver and Kris Gosine for Most Improved Diver. Carrie Kohs also placed 15th in the SMA. Next year? Hockman predicted, If they keep improving the way they do, 1 won ' t even worry about next year! The girls really sup- ported each other and that made the differ- ence in the long run.
