Digital Short of Sagebrush Diving Produced by the award-winning HDNet in Denver, CO JOIN SAGEBRUSH DIVING NOW... CLICK HERE for more information... E-mail Coach Kev with questions of where to start. Our divers have moved on to 27 different NCAA teams (and counting...) across the United States. See Team Information for a history of our club team. 05/09/13: Sagebrush Divers Lead the Way into the last week of HS Boys Diving Season. Cody Engstrom (512.75 pts) leads all Colorado HS divers in the 11-dive event rankings, with Matt Mauser (4th with 457.55pts) and Zach Mullins (5th with 434.65 pts). Devin Perry, brand new to diving in January of this year, is currently ranked 19th with 366.75 pts. All four of our HS-aged boys are in the top 20. We are very proud of them all as they continue to hone their diving skills for HS League and State Championships. COLORADO HS BOYS LEADERS 11-dive
04/22/13: Coach Kev took his Metro State University of Denver team to Atlanta, GA, over the weekend to host the ECC College Club Nationals at Georgia Institute of Technology. His male divers scored enough team points to push their national finish to 16th overall (men finished 3-4-5 on both boards, and the only thing keeping them from finishing 3-4-5-6 was we could only take 3 individuals into finals). Abdul Yacubu finished his college diving career by taking home the bronze medal on both boards. The highlight for the team was Hannah Herbold, who set new national records on 1M and 3M in winning double-gold!!! Congrats to her and all her teammates (Yacubu, Sam Bender, Tyler Box, and Joe Diefenbach). Another highlight of the weekend... most top level championship meets have a "walk-on song" pumping on the speakers while the top finalists come out to swim or dive. MSUD led the way in crazy diver dancing to get the crowd into the excitement of the upcoming final. DETAILED RESULTS CRAZY DIVER DANCE PARTY VIDEO
04/14/13: USA Diving West National Championships (San Antonio, TX) Details @ MEET RESULTS 11-under Boys: Jack Ryan 21st on 1M 115.35 pts 13-under Boys: Casey Fellows 19th on 1M 188.5 pts 14-15 Girls: Taylor Jackson 20th on 1M 254.2 pts 16-18 Boys: Matt Mauser 14th on 3M 458.2 pts 14-15 Boys: Devin Perry 25th on 1M 222.85 pts
03/19/13: SAGEBRUSH DIVING finishes 6th out of 16 club teams at Region 6 Championships Sagebrush Diving went head-to-head against 16 of the best club teams from 10 States, and finished a strong 6th overall. With 13 young divers competing against the top talent in Region 6 along with a large contingency of talent from Texas, Arizona, and CA jumping into our region, we still had 5 divers qualify for West Nationals (Jack Ryan, Casey Fellows, Matt Mauser, Devin Perry, and Taylor Jackson). All of our divers had great days, but in some cases, due to the region hoppers, were denied a trip to West Nationals. No worries, though. Our Region is improving and will continue to get stronger. As will Sagebrush Diving... REGION 6 CHAMPIONSHIPS (Lincoln, NE)
02/10/13: STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS... CONGRATS TO ALL OUR GIRLS!!!
02/02/13: LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS... CONGRATS TO ALL OUR GIRLS!!! Good luck at State!!!
*Qualified for State either at this meet, or in the case of Rowan Dunn, had already qualified.
12/17/12: Coaches Invite 2012 (all the best HS girls in both 4A and 5A) From Julia Benz and Rowan Dunn who were doing the Coaches Invite for the first time (Julia made the first cut after only diving for a month, Rowan made top 20 in her first Coaches Invite, which is pretty incredible), to Danielle Clayton (who finished last place in 2011 only to move up from 37th in 2011 to 19th in 2012... awesome!!!), then Alli Murphy (22nd in 2011, who has been on fire recently, finishing 12th scoring 6 team points for Lakewood!), then Savannah Magness (23rd in 2011, 11th this year and officially reached her first State Qualification, Party Time!!!), then Jess Glass (14th in 2011, moved up to 9th this year and we couldn't be happier!!!), and finally Grace Newell (18th in 2011, 8th this year, can you say podium finish? Together with her HS teammate Savannah, they scored a whopping 18 team points for their Monarch team). I also want to thank the boys for their support, especially Cody Engstrom who sent me just about every dive within seconds of it happening with a note about scores. And to Taylor Jackson and Maddy Pawlak (Maddy, that POSTER was FABULOUS and hilarious!!! You got the girls so bad with that slam on their guinea pig.I was crying).
11/10/12: 14th Annual Sagebrush Diving Invite is in the books. Six teams attended, with Sagebrush Diving eventually taking the team title for the 3rd time in the 14-year history of the traditional early-season meet. Individually, fourteen (14) divers rewrote history by writing their name into the all-time TOP TEN history books, in order of the top performers. Congratulations to all who competed!!! We are so happy you came to Denver, and hope you had safe travel home in the snowstorm!!! Taylor Jackson (Sagebrush Diving) replaced Michal Bower (Loveland Boardworks) as 1st on 1M, 3rd on 3M Ryleigh Kobbe (307 Diving) replaced Hannah Herbold (MHDC) as 1st on 1M Cody Engstrom (Sagebrush Diving) finished 2nd on 1M, 3rd on 3M Rendi Jones (Bear River Dive Club) finished 2nd on 3M (11-under), 4th on 3M (13-under) Jack Ryan (Sagebrush Diving) finished 2nd on 1M Savannah Magness (Sagebrush Diving) finished 3rd on 1M, 10th on 3M Grace Newell (Sagebrush Diving) finished 3rd on 1M, stayed 5th on 3M Hayley Pingell (Unattached) finished 5th on 1M Sydney Brown (Altitude Divers) finished 6th on 3M Bailey Williams (Sagebrush Diving) finished 7th on 3M Alli Murphy (Sagebrush Diving) finished 7th on 3M Michaela Pooler (307 Diving) finished 8th on 1M Matt Mauser (Sagebrush Diving) finished 9th on 1M Casey Fellows (Sagebrush Diving) finished 9th on 3M

8/1/12: SAGEBRUSH DIVING finishes 9th at AAU National Diving Championships. It was a banner day for Sagebrush Diving, as our 6 divers landed in the Top Ten as a team at National Championships in North Carolina. So very proud of our Colorado divers!!! VIDEO BY MATT MAUSER
6/19/12: Congratulations to three very distinguished Sagebrush Divers, Meili Carpenter, Cody Engstrom, and Matt Mauser. Read Below...
Meili Carpenter dove with Sagebrush Diving until she left for the University of Buffalo, where she continues to train with Head Diving Coach Karla Helder. She has had a colorful career, having won 5A State Championships and the prestigious Coaches Invite during her HS career, and has achieved All-American both in HS and in NCAA Division I. Meili now has taken this diving thing to a whole new level. This week at 2012 USA Diving Olympic Trials in Federal Way, Washington, she competed against 31 of the best 3M springboard competitors over the past 3.5 years in the United States. After preliminaries and semifinals, she sits 6th overall with Finals remaining on Saturday evening, to be aired "almost" live on NBC Sports. Only the top 12 continue on into Finals. In the process, she is the only diver left with no NATIONAL TEAM or OLYMPIC PERFORMANCE SQUAD or JUNIOR ELITE status. As a matter of fact, while she is only in 6th place, she leads at least 15 divers that are receiving some form of financial and training support and assistance from our National Training program in USA DIVING. Good luck to her and to Coach Karla!!! Maybe her performance at Olympic Trials will get their attention. We are SOOOOOO proud of you!!!
Cody Engstrom, who recently won the 4A State Championship for the first time, was selected by a panel of diving coaches representing all corners of the United States for 2012 NISCA All-American in Diving. Congrats to him and his proud family and friends!!!
Matt Mauser, who recently finished runnerup to his HS teammate at 5A State Championships after he led the first 4-5 rounds, was selected by a panel of diving coaches representing all corners of the United States for 2012 NISCA All-American in Diving. Congrats to him and his proud family and friends!!!
NISCA All-American in Diving: A Quick How-To The process involves parents/coaches of the best divers in the United States submitting a DVD of a diver's list from a 2011-12 HS meet. A panel of 9 coaches sit in a conference room and score the meet independently. The committee then ranks all the dive lists based on peer-reviewed and nationally-accepted judging criteria. A long and grueling process, they then announce the top 100 divers as All-American. Divers must achieve the following two criteria before submitting a tape for review: Girls must have 13.0DD for their 6 optional dives, and boys must have 13.3DD for their 6 optional dives. On top of that, each must also achieve a total 11-dive score of 375pts, or place top 6 at their respective HS State meet. Go to NISCA for more detailed information.
5/1/12: Sagebrush places 5th as a team at 16th Annual Spring Fling. MEET RESULTS
4/28/12: Cody Engstrom Shows The Power of an Eagle, Clawing His Way to Mustang Diving Invite Title at VMAC in Thornton, CO Against the two strongest 5A seniors in the State of Colorado (Andrew Hull at EAST, and Eric McMillin at Rocky Mtn), Cody Engstrom recovered from a missed gainer (305c) in semifinals to win at the 2012 4A State venue, VMAC in Thornton, just a couple weeks away. Good place to win, after narrowly placing second to Hull just less than a month ago at Coaches Invite. RESULTS and INDIVIDUAL DIVE CARDS (Cody page 41) are posted (thanks so much to meet director, DJ Hummel, for sending).
4/19/12: USA West Nationals in OKC LIVE RESULTS HERE Cody Engstrom, Taylor Jackson, Duncan Lester, and Matt Mauser represented the Sagebrush Diving National Team in Oklahoma City, OK, surviving thunderstorms, tornados, delays, and abrupt changes in the format of a meet (first time I have ever seen an INDOOR facility freak out about weather outdoors). Click on the Live Results HERE link above for detailed results. Congrats to all the divers, and watch and see how they continue to improve.
3/31/12: Sagebrush BOYZ fair well at Coaches Invite. Cody Engstrom, Matt Mauser and Charlie Marks competed last weekend at the prestigious Coaches Invite. The competition was fierce and MUCH deeper than last year's meet. Happy to say that two Sagebrush Boyz made it onto the podium (top 8), with Mauser finishing 6th overall (he placed 3rd at the meet last year, but is obviously much better) and Engstrom taking home the silver medal, only 15 points out of 1st placing behind the powerful Andrew Hull (of Denver East and Denver Triton). Marks ended up on the tail end of a controversy that I hope the Coaches Invite committee sorts out before the next Invite. Charlie was in 3rd place after 1 dive, but then proceeded to miss his next two dives. Wasn't his best day, but was in 27th at the point that they cut to the top 32. The meet committee decided that they were only going to let 4 Regis divers into the top 32 (contradictory to the only meet requirement that each team may only qualify 4 athletes into the top 16). A little premature on knocking him out, and he was the 5th wheel, so to speak, on this machine we call Regis Jesuit. A couple other former Sagebrush divers faired well, with JP Nelson finishing 15th, and Aaron Hagglof placing 30th. Results
3/13/12: Sagebrush Diving runs into toughest competition yet in Region 6 championships! The good news is our team still qualified 4 divers in six events to the West Championships meet to be held in Oklahoma City. The even better news is... the majority of our team was quickly educated on what we need to do to get to the next level. "I'm very excited about what this competition will do to the training attitudes of our divers," admitted Coach Kevin Sage. "There is no doubt that we have some exciting things happening, but the fact remains that our team is still the most inexperienced and new team in the Region. This meet gave each diver a wake-up call." Despite that, Sagebrush Diving finished 6th out of 19 teams registered, to finish in the top 3rd of the group should feel good. Hopefully, none of you are satisfied!!!
2/25/12: Sagebrush Divers Get Ready for Region 6. The divers competed in a Regional format meet to get ready for the upcoming Region 6 Championships. All did a great job, learned much and hopefully are more ready to take on the region's best divers. Up next, 145 divers from 19 of the best clubs in 9 States converge on Meyers Pool in Arvada, CO, the weekend of March 10-11, 2012. Pre-Regional RESULTS.
2/11/12: Congrats to all Sagebrush Divers that competed at 5A State. Mercedes Clements 13th (and Colorado 5A Diver of the Year!!!), Grace Newell 21st (in her first State meet), Jessica Glass 23rd (in her first State meet), and Alli Murphy 33rd (in her first State meet). Wow!!! Congrats to all of you... can't wait to see what next HS season brings... until then, let's get ready to rumble for Spring and Summer season... and bring on the boys HS!!!
12/31/11: Happy New Year. Practices begin again on Tuesday, January 3rd. See Team Email.
12/17/11: Mercedes Clements (13th) and Jessica Glass (14th) made the Championship Finals of the Colorado Coaches Invite held at Veterans Memorial Aquatic Complex in Thornton, CO. Congrats also goes to Grace Newell (18th), Alli Murphy (22nd), and Savannah Magness (23rd). There were 40 divers qualified for the competition.
Congrats also to Meili Carpenter, who started the 2012 USA Diving National Championships with a RUNNERUP finish in the 1M Quarterfinals in Tennessee. Her coach (Karla Helder, U of Buffalo, and Wings Diving head coach) has got to be proud. Top 8 move on to Finals on Sunday. Stay tuned... as three of the top four from the 2011 Summer Nationals did not even make the Final this meet. Meili, showing her consistency, goes into the Final a heavy favorite, due to her consistency over the past three years in the 1M event. This could be her first National Championship, and this is the last National meet before USA Olympic Trials. Coach Kev's Prediction... Meili wins by 2.5 pts over Deidre Freeman! Go Meili!!!
11/12/11: Sagebrush Diving had a great team showing at the 13th Annual Sagebrush Diving Invite, winning the TEAM TITLE for only the 2nd time in the 13-year history of the longest standing Club diving invitational in Colorado. Matt Mauser continued "doing what he do" (gangsta for "dove really well") by setting the ALL-TIME TOP SCORE in the 14/15 Boys 1-meter (shattering Sean Moore's 7-year old record, and leading a virtual "Who's Who" of top male divers from Colorado). Mauser also finished 2nd ALL-TIME just 8 points behind Moore's best on 3-meter. Matt Jagiello Boys 1M (Altitude Divers), Taylor Jackson in Girls 1M & 3M (Sagebrush Diving), Duncan Lester Boys 3M (Sagebrush Diving), Grace Newell Girls 1M & 3M (Sagebrush Diving), Savannah Magness Girls 1M & 3M (Sagebrush Diving), and Mercedes Clements Girls 1M (Sagebrush Diving). MORE DETAILS, NEWS, and VIDEOS soon...
10/15/11: Metro State Diving takes team title for second straight season in the 2nd Annual Roadrunner Diving Invite, held at the Auraria Campus Pool. Colorado took the women's title, and Metro State also won the Men's title. RESULTS
