Moore begins busy summer for Moss Farms

Wayne Grandy

Today’s schedule of events is expected to be completed by noon.

The meet will continue on Saturday and Sunday, beginning each day at 9 a.m.

Moore also will compete in the 16-18 girls 1-meter and 3-meter events and the senior women’s 1-meter.

After graduating with honors from Colquitt County High last week and taking a month off, Moore is back in the water and trying to polish her dives.

“I’m getting back into the swing of things,” she said, adding that the Moose Moss meet, “will let me see what I need to work on.”

Coach Ed Goodman says he expects her to have an outstanding summer as she takes aim at qualifying for Junior Nationals and making her presence felt again at Senior Nationals.

“Hannah is so consistent all the time,” Goodman said. “I don’t worry about her alot.

“She’s already got a college list of dives.”

Moore has been working on a front 3 1/2 on 3-meter, a dive she said she is not quite ready to use in competition yet.

“It’s pretty hard,” she said. “I’ve done it before. But I think when I get to college and get stronger, it will be easier for me.”

Otherwise, she is trying to continue to do her dives consistently.

Moore began her diving career under coach Wenbo Chen and blossomed under Ron Piemonte, who left Moss Farms to become the head coach at Virginia Tech last year.

It was no secret she and Piemonte had a strong relationship and she considered taking an offer from Virginia Tech before agreeing to go to Georgia.

Moore said she also has continued to become a more accomplished diver under Goodman, who succeeded Piemonte last year.

“I’ve gotten better,” she said. “He just has a different way. But he really, really takes time with you.”
