Salisbury senior diver Denny Bonner is no stranger to success.

As a member of the Falcons' diving team last year, Bonner placed seventh at the PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships with a score of 415.90 in the finals. He also broke the Salisbury diving record in his junior year on a number of occassions.

After just one meet into the 2014-15 season, Bonner is picking up right where last year ended. Bonner finished as the Falcons' top diver in Friday's season opener against Moravian Academy at KidsPeace Broadway, finishing with a score of 319.40. That tally was good enough for Bonner to erase his own school and pool record that he broke not even a year.

"He certainly is at point a where he can definitely move into a Division I college program," head coach Ken Vincent said. "We're just going to have to see where that goes. I think right now, as far as diving goes, Dennis is focused on a high school diving season."

Besides Bonner, junior Danny Bujcs finished in 17th in the state diving semifinals last year, missing the finals cut by one place. Bujcs placed third on Friday with a score of 274.30, while sophomore Tyler Keller posted a 291.75 for second place.

"Denny had a very, very impressive day, but the most impressive thing was that I had three divers diving at state-level diving in the first meet of the season," Vincent said. "All three had very good days, and they are very discipled and very accomplished divers."

Friday's season opener provided Vincent with his first look at the Falcons in a competitive swimming environment. And while both the boys (113-51) and girls (107-52) came up short against the Lions, Vincent was able to get a judge on a number of his top performers.

Kaleigh Bobeck, who is recovering from an illness in the previous week, put up a strong showing in both her individual and team events. She placed second out of six swimmers in the 100-yard breaststroke, while also finishing second in the 500-yard freestyle.

Rachel Costantini took second in both the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle.

"She [Bobeck] came off having a week off for a medical leave," Vincent said. "She came in not at 100 percent, but she really had a strong performance, especially in light of that. We're looking for her to really be a solid utility throughout the team, whether it be the distance freestyle which she did in the meet, or going into the other strokes throughout the other events."

Brooke Rogers was the only girl swimmer to capture first in an event with her time of 1:22.89 in the 100-yard butterfly. She also took second in the 100-yard backstroke, and was a member of the 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard freestyle relay teams that took second.

"The thing I like about these swimmers is that these are swimmers you can put in just about any event, and you know they are going to be a solid performer," Vincent said. "As we get further in the season, we're looking for a lot of improvement and a lot of good things to happen before the holidays, but particularly as we go past the holidays."

On the boys' side, Mahlon Reihman returns as one of the leaders from a year ago. Reihman's time of 2:07.80 in the 200-yard individual medley was nearly 30 seconds faster than second-place finisher Ryan Grette of Moravian. He also took first in the 100-yard backstroke in a time of 1:01.33.

Ben Wiener was the other Falcon boy to finish first in an event. He swam a 2:01.51 in the 200-yard freestyle, while also taking second in the 500-yard freestyle.

"We're looking for them to have strong years," Vincent said. "It's even too early to tell where they are going to be strong because as a sophomore in high school, there are so many things that can change, even in the four months of the swimming season. Both of them are well-rounded, which means they have opportunities to swim in any event."
