Wendell \u201cWoWo\u201d Moe, Jr. & Tyson Ruffins.<\/a><\/p>\nLong Beach Poly freshman Brayden Ogawa won the CIF Southern Section Division 1 diving championship earlier in May, edging teammate and fellow freshman Romeo Lobedecis, who took second place. Ogawa scored an even 502.00 in the finals round while Lobedecis scored 484.55.<\/p>\n
The top-podium sweep for the Jackrabbits was impressive especially given how young both divers are.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really excited for them and for the future,\u201d said Poly aquatics coach Ish Pluton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jackrabbit junior Lorealle Lobedecis took fifth place in the girls\u2019 Division 1 finals with a score of 465.65. Millikan\u2019s Avery Rencher competed in the Division 2 finals and finished fifth with a score of 416.50.<\/p>\n
Ogawa went on to compete at the World Junior Diving Championship Trials in Florida; Ogawa competed up in the 16-18 division and secured a 12th place finish on the 3m springboard representing McCormick Divers.<\/p>\n
