Rising star Evelyna Johnson was Southampton Diving Academy’s sole medallist in the Armada Cup in Plymouth.

She won the bronze in the 12/13 years 3m springboard event in a competitive field of 31 divers.

Evelyna performed three outstanding dives in the final to improve on her preliminary placing of fifth.

Ethan Bennett and Milly Batten, both diving in the 8-11 years events, also impressed.

Ethan qualified for two finals and Milly made the finals in all three of her events.

Senior coach Jack Clewlow enthused: “I was extremely pleased with the results of our up and coming divers.

“For many of the team, this was the first competition of this standard they had attended and all of them rose to the occasion and performed brilliantly.”
