On the weekend of 16-18 October a team of Albatross divers travelled to Leeds to compete in the White Rose competition. The team consisted of Tilly Waight, Milly Orgill, William Frewin, Freya Nelis and coach Bernie Bicknell.
The first divers representing Albatross were Milly and Tilly in the girls C1 age group, both divers had a good competition with Milly scoring high marks for her poolside dives and line ups from the three metre board. Tilly who was diving for the first time in a competition of this standard at an away pool had a steady competition. In what was a very tight event Milly had to eventually settle for 11th place and Tilly finished the event in 18th Place.
William dived in the boys C2 age group. He put in a very good set of dives, scoring well on all of his dives to finish the preliminary round in 6th place and qualifying for the final. In the final William finished in 6th place.
Freya was our final competitor in the girls age group B+ event. Freya had an excellent competition scoring almost 45 points on her inward one and half somersaults tuck from the 1 metre board. Scoring well on the rest of her dives meant she finished the preliminary round in 3rd place. The final was an extremely close run event with just 5 points separating 2nd to 5th place with Freya eventually finishing in 5th place.
