Plymouth Whitemarsh High School junior Riley Kiernan recently set a new school record for six dives with a score of 257.40. The previous record of 253.95 was set by Lize Keefer in 2012.
Kiernan set the new record during a meet against Mount St. Joseph’s/St. Joe’s Prep, which also saw for the first time six Plymouth Whitemarsh divers qualify for the District 1 Diving Championship on the same day.
“We also have never had six divers, in one season, qualify [for districts],” said Head Coach David Stewart. “So there’s a lot of great things happening with this team this year.”
The six who qualified during the meet were:
- Riley Kiernan – 257.40
- Annabel Ferhat – 212.00
- Teagan Stanley – 206.00
- Austin Alderfer – 280.60
- Jed Alderfer – 251.30
- Morgan Hulitt – 227.00
During a subsequent meet, ninth grader Ethan Scully also qualified with a 201.85.
