AMAZING CUDA DIVE SEASON 2024!!!!
That is a wrap on an AMAZING CUDA 2024 DIVE SEASON! Wow! Conratulations to all divers, coaches, and CUDA families.! Hope everyone had fun and your divers learned some new dives and reached their diving goals! All divers should be super proud of their performance on (and off) the boards. Here is a quick recap of some highlights and some next steps for families/divers interested in MORE diving instruction will be sent in a follow-up email!
DIVISION III Dual Meet Champions
The Carderock Cudas finished the season with a 5-0 record! That is right, we won all five meets and were undefeated!! There were some incredible diving performances throughout the season! A huge shout out to the coaches who worked closely with divers to help them to correctly execute dives, and learn new dives with higher degrees of difficulty. The awesome coaching came through in how our divers performed on the boards! Plus, Coach Tynan got a new, 2024 dual meet record of 299.15 points.
DIVISION III DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS
THE CARDEROCK CUDAs WON DIVISIONALS! The score was 79-79 -- tied with Potomac Woods, but we received the win since we were the dual meet winner. Carderock was lucky to host the Divisional meet for our Division on our home boards! Thanks to Larry and his team for the setup, Erik O'Donoghue for being our referee for the whole meet, our Carderock Community for offering concessions, all of the table and judging volunteers, and Shannon Lindstrom for announcing and keeping the meet moving! All of this contributed to making the meet a smashing success! Plus our CUDA divers had some new records -- two first-place finishes by Coach Tynan and Coach Isaac, and Tynan's new divisional meet record of 279.6 points!!!

None of this would have been possible without our our amazing parent volunteers who give their time, homes (thanks for hosting the Divisional dinner Craig and Sheryl), and support. A special shout out to Craig who tracked team stats and did a deep dive into the archives to come up with all of our team records! Looking forward to displaying the team records on a board next to the swim team records! We will have an unveiling of the new Dive team records board in the winter along with a Dive Team reunion. More details to come soon!
Thank you all for an amazing season! Go Cudas!
