A HAMPSHIRE student made a splash the other side of the pond.

Barton Peveril College student Emily Martin has won a medal at two international diving competitions, representing Great Britain in the women’s 10m synchronised pairs.

Emily and her partner won a bronze at the Senior Grand Prix in Calgary, Canada and at the Senior Grand Prix in Mission Viejo, USA a week later..

Emily won the medals in the women’s 10m synchronised event with her partner Phoebe Banks, from Leeds. The competition in Canada was the pair’s first Grand Prix together.

She also competed in individual events, at both Grand Prix, to gain experience for the future; the diver made the semi-finals in both competitions.

Speaking on the event, Emily, said: “I was so pleased to come away with two medals from my first Senior Diving Grand Prix. Diving outdoors in America was challenging but to overcome those challenges and achieve gold with a personal best score was an experience never to be forgotten it felt amazing. We were so proud to finish ahead of other pairings from top diving nations.”
