Meet the 80 former water babies of Queensland who have developed into top-tier teen sporting achievers thriving in the Olympic sports of swimming, water polo and diving.
Queensland is a world renowned frontier for aquatic sports and the production line of talent is never ending.
In the last 18 months the new generation Queensland world class young guns have emerged on the international stage, people like water polo players Marcus Berehulak, Tenealle Fasala, elite diver Cassiel Rousseau and brilliant teenage swimmers Mollie O’Callaghan, Ella Ramsay Liz Dekkers, Bronte Job, Flynn Southam and Isaac Cooper.
And the likes of teenage water polo players such as Ryan Medic, Molly Nasser, Will Valentine, Jack Fodor, Eve Gath, Lulu Elliott, Dylan McDonald, Kobe Jennison, and Isaac Kyle-Little, Noah Bright and Amelia Watt were powering forward, graduating from their clubs to represent Queensland Thunder.
So below we reveal the next batch of teenagers from swimming, diving and water polo who were on the move in their sports.
DIVING
Kiarra Milligan
Kiarra Milligan, 18, has just been selected in the Australian team bound for the World Junior Championships to be held in Montreal in November. A springboard specialist, Milligan has just moved to Michigan to attend College on a diving scholarship. From the Carindale/Belmont area – just up the road from diving headquarters at the Chandler’s Sleeman Sports Complex, she has been diving since aged nine after starting in the sport alongside her twin sister Denby.
Sam Olivier
Another local talent from Gumdale, Olivier, 18, will join Milligan on the Australian team for the World Junior Championships. This is a huge achievement for Oliver who has only been diving for three years. He is a 10m platform diver who will compete in the individual and the synchronised events. He is a very exciting prospect for the future. Like brilliant bayside Olympic talent Cassiel Rousseau and many fine young divers, Oliver was an international level gymnast before and transferred over to diving a few years ago. Indeed Diving Australia was on the lookout for more youngsters interested in the sport when it holds a testing day on November 13.
Emily Francis
Emily Francis, 14, has also only been diving for 18 months after transferring from Roberton’s Acro gymnastics where Cassiel Rousseau used to train for acro. Francis has reached an extremely high level of diving in a very short time due to her hard work and athletic ability/power and strong acrobatic background. A western suburbs resident, Francis is talented in both platform and springboard.
Maggie Grey
The baby of our list, Grey, 12, is one of the brightest and most exciting young talents in the program. A national champion and already doing dives that 15-16 year old divers were doing, still trains in both springboard and platform but she will definitely be targeted for platform. Grey was another gymnast who was originally from Ipswich, but who now lives locally not far from Diving Australia HQ.
Jonah Turner
Unfortunately Turner has had a back injury which saw him miss most of this year’s competitions, including the national championships and the trials for the World Junior champs selections. But Turner remains very talented and is working very hard to return to full training. Diving Australia officials know what he is capable of and are counting the days until he returns. He is a noted springboard exponent.
