Uttke dives into the record book

Grafton High School senior Maranda Uttke set three diving records this month.

On Sept. 13 at Port Washington, Uttke broke Grafton’s six-dive record with 277.45 points, which was also the Thomas Jefferson Middle School pool six-dive record. Marie Rubel set the school record with 275.7 points in 1994.

At the Pirate Invite on Sept. 17, Uttke broke the pool’s 11-dive record by scoring 461.25 points.

“Some pretty impressive diving and we are all so proud of her. It is a great feeling to share in her accomplishments,” diving coach Dennis Hubert said.
