Lambert’s diving team splashed onto the scene Tuesday night.The Longhorns played host to the team’s inaugural diving invitational, which included nine schools and 29 divers at the Cumming Aquatic Center.Although the Longhorns are new to diving, going from one athlete last season to 12 this year, the swimming team has a broader base. It boasts 85 participants, and the girls claimed second place in the state competition last year. And with a point system rewarding schools that also have diving, Lambert might have taken home first place.“Definitely,” Lambert diving coach Amy Spivia said.
