Dive Team: Glenwood Meet Results
Despite some awesome diving and a valiant effort on the part of the 9-10 boys and their families who trooped back over to Glenwood to repeat their third dive, the Eagle divers were just no match for the mighty Glenwood team. Old farm fell, 61 to 26. A huge thank you goes out to all the divers, their families, and our wonderful table workers and judges who helped us complete Dual Meet # 3 parts 1 and 2!!!!!. Please go to the Old Farm website for complete results and catch some photos as well.
A Word from Coach Katie
Hey OFDT! Just wanted to congratulate you all on another great meet this weekend against Glenwood. They were a tough team to compete against, but I’m proud of you all for stepping up and doing your best! A special shout-out to the 9-10 boys who came back to the meet on Tuesday to perform their last dive again- thanks for being such troopers. Keep up the great work and get ready for our next meet on Sunday against Carderock Springs! GO OLD FARM
