Student Spotlight on CHRISTY CUTSHAW 

We caught up with busy girl Christy Cutshaw to hear a bit about her wonderful summer!  Christy is a 5th grader at Westminster and has been taking violin lessons with C & R teacher Totka Valkova for almost 7 years. In addition to loving her violin lessons, Chinese lessons and Girl Scout troop, she has been busy winning awards in diving!  

Christy had an amazing summer and ended up with three National medals at the US Diving National Age Group Championships in Moultrie, GA this year. This was the first competition where she competed against divers from all over the country. She represented Atlanta Diving Association. 

After qualifying at the regional meet, then the Zone meet, she went to Nationals August 1-3. She made the finals in all competitions (field is cut from 24 to 12), and had these results: 

She won the Silver medal on the 3 Meter springboard

She won the Bronze medal on the 1 Meter springboard

She won 5th on the 5M (yes, 17 feet!) platform. 

Her coaching is overseen by Cynthia Potter, the Westminster diving coach, who is an Olympic medalist and is in the Hall of Fame of Diving. Cynthia came to watch her "come from behind" Silver medal on the 3M. Christy also was able attend camp at Greystone after Nationals in August as well.  

Congratulations, Christy!
