Black History Month Spotlight

USA Diving is featuring divers and coaches of color during the month of February for Black History Month. Coaches recognized include DiveRVA coach Diane Maiese, University of South Carolina head diving coach Mike Wright and University of Texas Graduate assistant Manny Pollard. Divers who are being featured are FINA World Cup medalist Nike Agunbiade, national champion Kristen Hayden and former Ivy League champion Daniel Dickerson.
