Boston Area Diving wins 2006 AAU New England Diving Championships

 


Duffey captures back-to-back high school diving titles

Bridget Duffey, a senior at The Pingree School, finished off her senior year with two back-to-back championship diving wins in the biggest contests of the season.

On Feb. 23, she won the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming & Diving Championships held in Philadephia, Pa.

On March 5, she won her second consecutive New England Prep School Diving Championship, held at Deerfield Academy, and posted a new league record with a score of 444.

The record was set in 1996 and the record holder was coaching at the meet, and she personally congratulated Duffey.

Following the preliminary round of diving, Duffey succeeded in maintaining a consistent lead on the No. 2 diver, Carlin Dacey, from Choate Rosemary Hall, and in her final dive she posted her highest score of the day on the back 2.5 twister with a score of 52 points, which gave her a strong finish.

Her scores from both meets qualify her for the “All American” application. The Pingree Swimming & Diving team is coached by John Young and the Diving coach is Joe Chirico.

Now that high school season is over Duffey will continue training with the private club team, Boston Area Diving, which practices at both Brandeis and Wellesley College. Duffey was recruited to dive at Dartmouth College where she will compete on the Division I diving team.
