Hi, my name is Traci Sandin Fenstermacher and I would first like to thank you for visiting our site. My current
duties include Hill Age Group Diving Club director and diving coach for The Hill School since 2005. I earned
a B.S. degree in Health & Physical Education from West Chester University and my passion for the sport of diving
remains strong.
My personal diving experience includes: DuBois YMCA diving team, DuBois High School diving team, West Chester
University (WCU) diving team and various professional diving shows in the United States & Taiwan. While
at WCU, my training was under US Olympic coach Dr. Ronn Jenkins, a long time and much respected diving coach
with whom I maintain regular contact to enhance my coaching skills.
My 15 years coaching experience includes The Hill School, Perkiomen Valley High School, DuBois High School and various
summer programs including Boy Scouts and summer leagues.
When away from the pool, I enjoy spending time with my new husband Jeff, our two cats Little Man & Pookie and
our cockatiel Harry. My hobbies include grooming dogs and diverse outdoor activities such as camping
and walking. I also have to say I am very fortunate to have a family that supports me in my decision to coach the sport
that I enjoy so much, diving!
Assistant Coach - Hill Alumni Diver
My name is Natalie Mannino, I’m nineteen
years old and a freshman at Gettysburg College. I attended The Hill School
as a boarder for four years. When I was younger, I was a gymnast for eight years with the Metzler's Gym-Bees. I competed until
level 8 and I particularly enjoyed the uneven bars. I carried much of the discipline and training I learned from gymnastics
and used it to succeed in other sports. I became involved in field hockey, track/pole-vault/triple jump, lacrosse, and eventually
diving.
Thankfully, Mrs. Fenstermacher revived
the diving program at Hill, which was practically nonexistent before her arrival. I started diving in my junior year because
I thought I would do very well due to my gymnastics background. I succeeded and
enjoyed diving so I continued into my senior year. Unfortunately, Gettysburg College
does not offer diving, so I look forward to revisiting diving this summer as an assistant for Hill Age Group Diving.
Other than sports, I enjoy spending time
with my friends and family, volunteering with children, and cooking.
