Ohio State Women Get Commitments from 5 Impact Divers

The Ohio State women’s diving team has added five projected divers for the 2014-2016 season, reaching across the country and across the world (including two from Melbourne, Australia). This is a banner class for head diving coach Justin Scochor as he begins his 2nd season in that position with the program.

Even more significantly, this is a class with a ton of success at the national and international levels, and a versatile class with success in the full gambit of diving events.
