MOSCOW, Idaho - For the final meet of a back-to-back-to-back homestand, Idaho Swim and Dive hosted the Colorado State Rams of the Mountain West for a two-day duel in the University Swim Center.

Split up into two separate days, diving commenced on Friday and the results showed a strong outing from the black and gold. Maya Salvitti, having already qualified for Zone E in both events, won the 1M and 3M outright with scores of 325.43 and 271.35, respectively. Amelia Ward took home the bronze in both events with marks of 265.65 and 257.70. 

In the 1000 Y Freestyle, sophomore Holly Lenarz took the win, clocked at 10:20.87. Isabelle Borke added another win to her season total in the 200 Y Free (1:50.53), and Madelyn Butler (23.53) and Katy Foley (23.83) took home 2nd and 3rd in the 50 Y Free.

Adding another to what has been a dominant two year stretch for her, Ginger Kiefer collected another school record in the 100 Y IM, finishing with a historic time of 57.16. This is Kiefer's first record of the year and first since she took home four such marks and three individual titles at the WAC Championships. 

Courtney Crawford earned a top finish in the 100 Y Breaststroke, clocked at 1:03.67. Butler, Foley, Borke, and Sydney Heasman won the day at the 200 Y Freestyle Relay, and the team of Kiefer, Crawford, Butler, and Heasman took home silver in the 200 Y Medley Relay. 

All-in-all, the Vandals won seven of thirteen events between swimming and diving, and multiple personal bests peppered the final results. Marie Mason's second-overall time of 4:58.23 in the 500 Y Freestyle was a personal best and the first time in her career she finished under five minutes. Crawford's time in the 100 Y Breast was her first time under 1:04. Borke's time of 50.98 in the 100 Y Freestyle was her first time under 51 seconds. Ultimately, the final events came down to the wire, and the Rams did just enough come out on top.

The Vandals will have a week off of competitions after three home meets in a week's span. They will return to action on Nov. 20 with the diving squad heading to California for the Trojan Diving Invitational. Starting on Nov. 21, Idaho will host the Northwest Collegiate invite in the Idaho Central Aquatics Center in Boise.
