Riley McCormick, diving phenom (and family friend: his Mom and Pop were Alex and I's best grown-up buds as kids), is one step closer to the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008! Riley and his diving partner, Wegadesk Gorup-Paul, finished 11th in the men's synchronized 10-metre platform dive event at the World Aquatics Championships this weekend in Montreal. Riley, at 13, was the youngest competitor in the championships. What an accomplishment. At 13 I was playing girl's C-team softball and hanging out at the mall. Way to go, Riley, the Lemons (and I'm sure all of Victoria) are rooting for ya!
