Country Glen Sun Devils

Coach Schaefer has been with the Sun Devils since the summer of 2000. In his 24 years, the accolades are strong as they stem from Washington Post and Montgomery Gazette Coach of the Year to Division E titles, but the element where he hangs his hat is the one win in Division A during the summer of 2017 and 18. He has seen over 2000 swimmers and divers go through the CG system and treats all of his athletes and parents as his own family. Geoff is a high school English teacher and recently retired from coaching high school swimming and volleyball so he could raise his two daughters. He looks forward to the Saturday morning theme execution, Friday night pep rallies and the B meets that take less than two hours! PASL for life!!!

In addition, Ella has broken school records at SAES. She will be attending Virginia Tech in the Fall studying animal science. Ella has trained with Coach Tim Fisher and is looking forward to returning as Country Glen's Head Dive Coach this Summer. Her enthusiasm for diving, success competing at a high level, and natural ability to connect with young divers make her an important part of the team. When Ella is not diving, she is passionate about competing in equestrian, playing soccer, and hanging out with her family and friends.

My name is Inanna, but everyone calls me Nani! This summer will begin my 5th year diving. I am a rising Junior at Winston Churchill High School. I have been diving on my school's varsity swim and dive team since my freshman year, and will be the dive team captain for the '25 -'26 season. Over my four years at Country Glen I have gone to Divisionals and All Stars three times, placing top three in Divisionals twice, 1st place in 2023 and 3rd place in 2024. I strive to be the best diver I can be, and I can't wait to share my love for the sport with all the new divers at CG this summer!
