As Greg Stampfli stat- ed, 4'The anxiety received through spinning and twisting is thrilling. Having a fairly young team this year, the divers hoped to improve and prepare their skills for CIF and League. Their coach, Lisa Smedly, did a terrific job of helping them do just that, improve. She also com- mented that, 6'The team has a lot of poten- tial and they are learning fast. A diver knew of that improvement when they had ripped one of his harder dives.
