MOULTRIE —
All three Colquitt County High divers — Kirkland, Haley Goodman and Anastacia Jimenez — have qualified for the state championships, which will be held on Friday, Feb. 10, at Georgia Tech.
Tift County High’s Ashley Roberson, who trains at Moss Farms Diving, also has qualified for state.
Defending Class AAAA state champion and state record-holder Lauren Hall of Wesleyan High was first in the Metro Atlanta meet, with a 499.55 at her home pool.
Kirkland, who missed three practices last week with illness and an injury, had a 422.85.
“She only had one legitimate practice last week,” coach Ed Goodman said. “I think she’ll do better at the state meet.”
Roberson was fifth with a 394.25 and Haley Goodman was sixth with a 364.95. Jimenez was ninth with a 33.95.
All scored above the state meet qualifying score of 300.0.
