2014 Wrap Up

The 2014 season saw many highlights for the Conroe Diving Club from future champion gold medals to finals at the national age-group championships. The CDC currently has the most members in team history and a fantastic booster club to help support the divers and coaches.

The CDC competed in 15 meets this year and captured the team title in four of them including the Corpus Christi meet in June.

Six divers represented the CDC at the regional championships in 2014:
Liberty Dougal, Kambri Foster, Kaylee Frantzen, Reagan Hinze, Travis Saye and Alexa Underwood

Five of these divers attended the Zone championships in Florida with Kambri (11 & U 3 meter finalist) and Travis (12-13) spending a week in Knoxville, TN at the Age Group National Championships.

More than 50 CDC members earned medals while competing throughout the 2014 season setting another milestone as a team. Congratulations to ALL divers in the program!
