Does he have what it takes to reach his dreams in the Olympics. My guess would be he is going for the 2008 Olympics, but I could be wrong.

 

[Bonis3]

I think he has what it takes. But maybe even as a junior in high school in 2004. I'd be surprised if he isnt a world champion at some point in his career.

 

[baldrige]

He has honed his skills for several years, and hopefully he will reach his goal soon.

 

[baldrige]

He has been working on a new dive and it is spectacular

 

[OSU-Brutus]

what dive?

 

[Bonis3]

I believe it is a secret that will not be unleashed.

 

[baldrige]

He told me he was modeling it after one of Greg Louganis' dives. I forget which one though.

 

[Bonis3]

I saw him perform the other day in Columbus. He is looking at a great future.

 

[baldrige]

Internationally I think he is ranked as one of the 50 best prep divers in the world.

 

[baldrige]

I cant wait to see him perform tomorrow

yea you guys are talkin to yourselves. He must be from Circleville, because only you two know about him.

Hey guys, little update on Wes. He is currently preparing for the 2008 Qualifier held I believe in December (indoor). I read a few articles on him and the coaches for the USA think he has about a 50-50 shot on landing on the team. With diving though, you never know. He could catch a hot streak and end up medaling. We will have to see. Go Wes!

 

[Clemente]

Failed to qualify in 2008...will try again in 2012.

 

[gobluetom]

Is he still hoping to qualify in 2016?
