In Memoriam: Florida Diving Coach Donnie Craine, 1952-2014

With this weekend’s All-Florida Invite being the first combined-squad meet of the season for Florida, the Gators took the opportunity to formally remember former diving coach Donnie Craine, who died tragically earlier this year in a boating accident at just 61-years old.

This video was aired in April, but was played at a meet for the first time on Friday after a moment of silence at the O’Connell Center.

I believe that Coach Craine was 61 years old at the time of his death, not 52.
