College Station, Texas – Team Texas Diving is actively preparing young athletes for the upcoming USA Diving Junior National Championships, slated for July 25-August 3 in Mission Viejo, California. The team is currently hosting training sessions at Texas A&M’s Rec Center Natatorium, where young divers from various Texas cities come together to refine their skills.
Head coach Wendy Lerew highlights the strong commitment required from both athletes and their families. Many parents travel significant distances—with some making hour-and-a-half commutes—to ensure their children can train at the facility. This dedication underscores the passion and support that exists within the Team Texas Diving community.
Divers are coming from cities including Houston and Austin, with training sessions scheduled most afternoons. Among the athletes is Bianca Hutter, who has expressed excitement about her growth and the supportive environment surrounding her. Another diver, Alexandra Angueira-Colombani, emphasized the camaraderie among teammates, noting the shared challenges of lengthy commutes and the collective drive to succeed.
Coach Lerew characterizes the nature of competitive diving as requiring a unique mindset, suggesting that divers need to be “a little crazy” in order to excel in the sport. This mindset, as conveyed by the athletes, appears to be an essential component of their success and development.
The team has access to top-tier diving facilities at Texas A&M, which contributes significantly to the training regimen. The advanced dry room and supportive coaching staff are aspects that young divers like 10-year-old Max Bryant appreciate. The quality of training provided at the natatorium helps nurture athletes’ skills and prepare them for high-level competitions.
Recent performances indicate that the divers are on the right track. Both Max Bryant and Bianca Hutter qualified in the top three during national trials, positioning them as strong contenders heading into the national championships. The team’s commitment is further demonstrated through their participation in recent international competitions, including events held in Croatia and at the USA Senior Nationals.
Coach Lerew expresses her commitment to valuing the journey and personal achievements of each athlete, regardless of their competition level. This philosophy creates a nurturing environment that encourages divers to focus on their individual progress while supporting one another throughout the rigorous training and competition schedules.
As Team Texas Diving continues to prepare for the upcoming junior national championships, the combination of rigorous training, family support, and a collaborative spirit is evident among the athletes. The team’s aspirations are high, as they look to excel not only locally but also at the national level, showcasing the hard work and dedication each diver has put into their craft.
