SOLON, Ohio — Last year, Solon High School diver Dominic Roberto had just won his third Ohio High School Athletic Association state titleas a junior. Every year of competing, Roberto was a champion, and so he set a goal for his senior year—win his fourth state championship and make history.
The win gave Roberto his fourth state title—marking the first time in Ohio history a diver won the championship in all four years of high school. That feat is even more impressive, with the meet having been held for 97 years, and no one has accomplished what Roberto has."The coolest thing about all of it is I would say every state championship experience has had a different feeling," Roberto said."My freshman year was probably the most exciting since my first one I won.
"I knew from the beginning. I knew from four years ago. There really wasn't a doubt in my mind. When he gives something, when he has a goal and he gives it his all, he succeeds," she said.
