Small Ball Report-February 20

SCIAC Conference

Freshman Andrew Fevery of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps diving team was named SCIAC Male Athlete of the Week on Wednesday.  Fevery won both boards at the SCIAC Diving Preliminaries.  He dominated one meter on Saturday with a score of 427.65 which is an NCAA qualifying score.  He won by 58.65.  He also won the 3 meter on Sunday with a score of 437.65, just shy of another NCAA qualifying score.

Junior Sarah Sharpe of the Occidental diving team was named SCIAC Female Athlete of the Week on Wednesday.  Sharpe was victorious at the 2010 diving preliminaries, winning both the 3-meter and 1-meter events.  On day one, she scored a 385.05 in the 3-meter, more than 40 points better than second place, which went to teammate Marisa Pulcrano.  Sharpe's highest score of the day came on her inward one and a half somersault, pike, as she received 7.0's across the board.  Another solid dive for the Junior transfer was her reverse one and a half somersault, tuck, which she received a pair of 7.0's and a 6.5 on.  Sharpe also scored 7.0's from at least one judge on her back dive.  On day two, she also came away with the top spot.  The biggest dive of the dive came on her second to last dive, an inward dive, pike, which she received scores of 8.0's or above from five of the seven judges.  Sharpe also earned scores of 8.0 on her front one and a half somersault, pike, and her inward one and a half somersault, pike.  She was just a few points away from an NCAA provisional qualifying score in both events.

Caltech is out of the cellar!  I don't know if I should be excited for them or feel sorry for Pomona-Pitzer.  Then again, why should I feel sorry for any team in sports?
