MOULTRIE — The final day of the Moose Moss Invitational was a productive one for the host team.

The Moss Farms Diving Tigers took four gold medals, including two by Kelsey Goodman and one each by Ryan Helms and Ann Perry Blank, and had the top four finishers in the 16-18 girls 3-meter event.

Goodman won the 16-18 girls 1-meter event, which finished on Sunday after being suspended because of bad weather on Saturday.

She also went on to win the 3-meter event, in which teammates Hannah Moore, Ali Lepech and Anna Aguero finished second through fourth.

Helms, in his first competition since February surgery on his wrist, scored a 483.95 to win 16-18 boys 1-meter, the only event he entered.

And Ann Perry Blank finished first in 14-15 girls 3-meter, another event that had started on Saturday. She also took the silver medal in the 1-meter event held Sunday.

“I really liked that 1-2-3-4 finish,” said Moss Farms coach Ed Goodman. “It was a great meet. The kids were awesome.”

Goodman had a 353.80 to win the 1-meter event by just five points over Helen Alvey of the Atlanta Diving Association. Goodman won the Georgia High School Association’s state championship on the 1-meter board in February as a freshman.

Moore took the bronze medal in the 1-meter event with a 342.30 and Aguero was fifth with a 297.90.

Moss Farms’ Erin Goodman was 12th in the 16-girl field.

Moss Farms dominated the 3-meter competition, with Kelsey Goodman scoring a 395.30.

She was followed by Moore and her 389.25; Lepech, who had a 362.65; and Aguero, who scored a 356.40. Erin Goodman was 11th.

“I thought, overall, she had a good meet,” Goodman said of Kelsey. “And Hannah dove great in her last Moose Moss meet.”

Helms, just cleared last week to begin diving again, may have been rusty, but he was good enough to score a 483.95 to take the gold medal in the boys 16-18 1-meter springboard event.

“He was just a little bit off,” Goodman said of Helms “He didn’t do a front 3 1/2 and his 2 1/2 tuck he didn’t quite hit.
