Lower Merion’s Grady Gardner is Main Line Boys Athlete of the Week (Feb. 20-26)

The senior diver and team captain was undefeated in Central League dual meets this winter, and finished second at the Central League Diving Championships for the second consecutive year. He has qualified for the PIAA 3A Diving Championships. Outside of the pool at Lower Merion, Gardner participates in Amazing Ace, is one of the Spirit Committee heads for Student Council, and writes for the school newspaper. “Grady is a very outgoing guy — he loves hanging with his teammates, listening to music and dance-jamming with his teammates,” said Lower Merion diving coach Carol Gibbone. “He has impressive perseverance and dedication. He’s a great team captain and a total pleasure to work with and have around us on deck.”
