29/11 - 20th Annual Luton Kingfisher Diving Invitational event , Lottie Thompson, 16yrs, made the 3m and 1m finals in good style and found herself diving against Olympian Stacie Powell and GB Senior Louise Vanderhoof from Southampton, plus a host of other British wannabees!  On the 3m springboard Lottie performed some great dives to take the Bronze medal with Clubmate Jenny Haines 15yrs, in 4th spot.  On the 1m both girls were against the veteran Stacie who took the title, but this time Jenny showed greater consistency to get in front of Lottie and take 4th spot with Lottie in 5th. Jake Gardiner, 13yrs, found himself up against British Diving’s super young star and Olympic hope 14 yr old Thomas Daley from Plymouth - and did himself proud.  Not phased by the competition or the more experienced divers he focused well and performed his dives with good form.  Jake made the finals, and finally finished in 6th spot in a field of 12.

18/11 - ENGLISH SCHOOLS DIVING CHAMPION 2007 - Lottie Thompson won the Senior Girls event at the English Schools Diving Championships held in Plymouth at the weekend.  Lottie’s exciting somersaulting skills and improved consistency on her harder dives kept her moving slightly further ahead in each round despite some really strong challenges – particularly from home based diver Jessica Taylor. Lottie finally finished almost 20 points ahead of her nearest rivals with an excellent score of 295.85 points. In the Intermediate Girls event, Ellie Osborne dived very consistently and, despite lacking a little difficulty in her list of dives, finished in an excellent 4th place earning valuable points for the Div 8 Team who finally finished 3rd - just behind Divisions 10 & 3.
