Hi to the readers of the Filipino Journal! My name is Aylah Angeles. I had an amazing experience at my first Junior Development Nationals in Toronto. I came in 4th in the D1-1M springboard event, 5th in the D1 tower event and 7th in the D1-3M springboard event.

I got to meet divers from the east who spoke French and got my friends to translate which was pretty neat! I had so much fun with my teammates and will never forget my first Nationals. I’m gonna work hard and hope all my teammates do well so that we all can experience Nationals in Regina SK next year!

I’m back!!!!! For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Syla Celeste. I recently competed at the Junior Development Nationals in diving. I worked hard all year to qualify and ended up coming in 7th place in the 1 meter springboard C1 event and 8th in the 3 meter springboard C1 event. It was fun to see all my friends from across the country who also qualified for Nationals. We finished the week off with a fancy banquet and a fun filled day in Wonderland. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to represent my age category and am hoping to qualify again next year. It will be hard work but I will do my best. For now I am enjoying the break over the summer! See you next year.
