One of the highlights every year is welcoming our youngest Junior Development divers to the stage to receive their JD medals. This year made the moment even more memorable as Olympians Rylan Wiens and Margo Erlam personally congratulated them, offering inspiration from athletes who once stood exactly where they are now.
Fun fact: Rylan was part of the very first JD group when the program began seventeen years ago. Seeing him return as an Olympian to cheer on the next generation shows just how special this pathway is for young divers.
We also want to applaud our Novice and National athletes, our dedicated coaching team, and the volunteers who keep our club thriving. Saskatoon Diving Club continues to grow stronger thanks to your passion and commitment.
A special shout out goes to our history-making 2025 Canada Games team, who have made all of us incredibly proud.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event. The energy in the room reminded us why this community is so exceptional. We look forward to another exciting year of training, competing, and building the future of diving in Saskatchewan.
