The freshman placed first in 1-meter and 3-meter diving to capture individual Region III/District Northeast championships. Herrlett totaled 384.15 points in three meter and 479.50 points in the 1-meter, setting not only a school record in both events, but a meet record in the 1-meter. It was Herrlett’s sixth and seventh first-place finish in diving this season.
