Athlete of the Week – Cole Mansell

Tessa Stahlhut

March 18, 2013

Cole Mansell is a freshman at Pattonville High School. Mansell was a diver on the Varsity Pattonville Swim and Dive team. Although the season is over at school, Mansell continues diving outside of school with the Clayton Diving Alliance.

Mansell has been diving for one year with Pattonville and, currently, Clayton. Before diving for Pattonville, Mansell took private diving lessons from the dive coach at Bridgeton Municipal Pool.

“She was a great help with introducing me to diving,” Mansell said. “She really inspired me to go on with diving at Pattonville.”

During the diving season at Pattonville, Mansell competed in many meets.

“I’m just not sure exactly how many I’ve won. It’s such a huge number, I can’t remember,” he jokes. “But all jokes aside, I did get 4th place at conference.”

Since the season at Pattonville ended, Mansell has been training with the Clayton Diving Alliance in preparation for the Bridgeton Dive Team coming up this summer.
