In a thrilling display of athletic prowess, Marie Mason shattered her own school record on Senior Day, leading the Idaho Vandals to success in both swimming and diving competitions. But here's where it gets controversial... The Vandals' dive team, led by Maya Salvitti, faced off against NAU at the Diving Invitational in Flagstaff, Arizona, while the swimmers dominated Washington State in Pullman, Idaho. And this is the part most people miss... The Vandals' senior class was honored, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the program, and celebrating their careers in front of the home crowd. The Vandals' swimming team, led by Ginger Kiefer, claimed gold and silver medals, with Mason breaking her own school record in the 1,000 Y freestyle. But the real controversy lies in the interpretation of the results... The Vandals' divers, including Salvitti and Amelia Ward, posted solid outings, with Salvitti leading the charge. However, the real question is, did the Vandals' relay performances truly deserve their second and third-place finishes? The Vandals will now head to Pharr, Texas, for the MPSF Conference Championship Meet, aiming to secure spots in the NCAA Diving Zones E Championships and the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships. Stay tuned for more updates on the Vandals' journey to glory!
