April 2008 Diver of the Month

Next Generation Diving Team

Sean Burston

Sean Burston had a great month in April!  It was his first trip to the YMCA Nationals where he won both of his events and helped secure the Mens' Team Championship for Next Generation, as well as the Combined Team Championship.  By learning inward double on 3-meter, and continuing to work on his already competitive list, he also qualified to the US Diving East National Championships where he placed 6th on 1-meter and 10th on 3-meter.  Sean has set some hefty goals for himself with the dives he wants to learn and compete by this summer.  He has already changed his front 2 1/2 to pike from tuck on 3-meter, and he wants to learn and/ or compete inward 2 1/2 on 3-meter, forward 2 1/2 on 1-meter, and back 1 1/2 on 3-meter.  Awesome goals Sean and no doubt you will be successful in achieving them!!
