Pacific School Games - Day 7 and wrap up

This once again was a highlight of the week where the divers had to dive in a 4 member synchro team. Each diver had to dive with each team member and saw the divers have a lot of fun as expected. The great news is that Sophie Debenham and her team won a gold medal. Unfortunately Sally Cream came 4th once again with her team. Which makes Sally extremely unlucky at the games with three 4th places.
