That’s what Dawne Cardinalli of Santa Rosa said when she saw Ron
Miller, 61, make a dive from the springboard at the Finley Aquatic
Center. Cardinalli has an 11-year old daughter, Hannah, who also is a
member of the Santa Rosa Diving Club.

“To me, when I see Ron,”
Cardinalli said, “I feel that nothing is unreachable. It is incredible
what he is doing. And I think it’s good for the kids on the team to see
what he’s doing, that as an adult he can still relate to them by
diving.”

Miller, who had never dove before, took up the sport a
year ago. While he has yet to compete in a meet, Miller makes every
practice, does every training drill.

The next oldest member on the team is Jen Meyer, the former Ursuline diving star who will dive next year for UC Davis.
