Wabash Diving Invite

In what was clearly one of the strongest Division III Diving Invitationals in the entire country Wabash represented itself in outstanding fashion!

Attempting new dives with a higher degree of difficulty is never an easy challenge... doing it against many of the best divers in the country is just plain ridiculous! Well, maybe our divers are crazy, but I would rather call them gutsy and brave - or even better, courageous and successful. The rate of improvement this year has been off the charts and to see our divers continue this trend, when the competition was at it's highest, was simply fantastic. Tom Schiltz, Jacob Peerman, and Rob Fenoglio are by no means at their best right now in December, but seriously, they are getting close. And this was a huge a step in the right direction for them. A definite spring board into the next semester! (great pun, huh?).

Rob Fenoglio stole the show for the Little Giants with a 5 place finish on the 1 Meter (379.5) and a 4th place finish on the 3 Meter (388.6)! His 1 Meter score was 20 points higher than last year at this invite, and his 3 Meter score was an 80 point improvement! †Awesome! Also, Tom Schiltz soared to a top 10 finish on the 3 Meter and both Peerman and Schiltz were top 15 on 1 Meter.

Congrats guys!
