February saw, the country’s best divers travel to Plymouth to battle for honours at the British Gas Diving Championships. Olympic and Commonwealth stars Tom Daley, Reading’s Chris Mears, Oliver Dingley, James Denny and Jack Laugher all in attendance to begin their campaigns for selection in Rio.
For the first time in recent years, Reading have added another name to the list of competitors at this premiere domestic diving competition with Seb Masterton of Albatross Diving Club making his debut in this prestigious event.
Seb, 17, competed alongside Mears and Laugher on the 3m and Dingley and Denny on 1m.
Whilst performing well on the 3m springboard it was the 1m that really brought out the best in Seb as he consistently executed his list of high tariff dives to bring home the Junior Bronze medal with a new personal best score over 6 dives, missing the Silver by just 1.7 points.
Congratulations Seb, on a fantastic achievement.
