Despite the challenges of training and competing during a pandemic, DeWitt put together an 11-0 season and a strong showing at states.
Senior divers Elise Snyder and Addison Beathard were determined to not waste their final opportunity to compete in high school. They practiced outside, with the rest of the DeWitt swim and dive team, during the first month of the season because its pool was closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The pandemic changed and limited the usual ways of practicing, making any time they could find precious. Snyder and Beathard, the team’s co-captains, were integral in bringing the team together during the offseason and making sure everyone was ready for the season even when it was still up in the air, according to Coach Greg Brace.
