MOULTRIE — Moss Farms coach Ed Goodman and four of Diving Tigers will spend a little more time in Indianapolis, Ind., than perhaps they had expected.

Anna Aguero, Kelsey Goodman, Ryan Helms and Hannah Moore, already qualified for the July 26-Aug. 3 Junior National Diving Championships in Indianapolis, will remain in town to take part in the Senior National Championships, set for Aug. 2-5.

The four Moss Farms divers qualified for Senior Nationals last weekend at the Zone C Championships held at the Woodlands Athletic Club in Woodlands, Texas.

The trip to Texas was the first for Ed Goodman since he took over from Ron Piemonte last week as the team’s coach.

Piemonte has been named the head diving coach at Virginia Tech.

It was a profitable trip from Goodman. Four of the five divers he took to The Woodlands qualified for Senior Nationals, including 14-year-old Kelsey Goodman, who finished fourth on the 3-meter board.

Kelsey Goodman and Ali Lepech, both 14, went to the Senior Zone meet for the first time. Lepech did not qualify.

Aguero, Helms and Moore are Senior Zone veterans and Aguero qualified for Senior Nationals for the second year in a row, despite diving with a painfully bruised bicep.

“I had no real expectations,” Ed Goodman said. “We did way better than I thought. I’m thrilled.”

Helms, who won the Junior East Championships title on the 1-meter board 10 days ago, was second on the 1-meter springboard and was fourth on the 3-meter board to qualify for Senior Nationals.

“Ryan was awesome,” Ed Goodman said.

Moore qualified on the 3-meter board with her third-place finish. She was seventh on 1-meter after finishing second in the prelims.

“Hannah was just very consistent,” Ed Goodman said. “She doesn’t get rattled.”

Kelsey Goodman qualified on 3-meter board and was just five points away from qualifying on the 1-meter board as well.

“I thought she dove great,” Goodman said of his daughter.

Aguero did not qualify on 3-meter, finishing 10th in the finals. But she did qualify on the platform, the bruised and taped arm and a failed dive notwithstanding.

Aguero also qualified for Senior Nationals in the platform event last year.

Ed Goodman said his concern now is getting Aguero ready to dive in both the Junior and Senior National events.

Aguero, Goodman, Helms, Lepech and Moore will be joined by Ann Perry Blank and Owen Blank in competing in the Junior Nationals, USA Diving’s premier junior diving event of the year.

Some 250 divers are expected to take part, with competition on all three boards in 13-and-under, 14-15 and 16-18 age groups.

At stake are 18 Junior National titles and spots on the USA Diving Junior National Team, which will represent the United States at the FINA World Junior Championships on Aug. 23-27, in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia.

Like the Junior Nationals, the Senior Nationals will be held at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis.

Competition will be held in men’s and women’s 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, 10-meter platform, synchronized 3-meter and synchronized platform.

In addition to the four from Moss Farms, also expected to be among the 125 divers will be 2000 Olympic gold medalist Laura Wilkinson; 2004 Olympians Troy and Justin Dumais, Justin Wilcock and Cassandra Candinell; and 2005 National Champions David Boudia, Thomas Finchum and Kelci Bryant.
