SWIMMING STATE CHAMP?

However, the Firestone senior tandem of Leanna Hoover of Bethany Haver finished first and second in the Division I state one-meter diving event under Falcons diving coach Kathy Kirk at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton.
Hoover, the state champ, is a freshman diver at the University of Akron. Haver, the state runner-up, is a freshman diver at Washington & Jefferson College.
