The University of Idaho Dive team worked to maintain strong team dynamics through the challenges of COVID-19. Now they look to get ready for the upcoming Western Athletic Conference Championships.
The UI dive team consists of five young members, two of which are freshmen and the other three sophomores. Sophomore divers, Allison Shimp and Hailey Faith said the team wasn’t able to compete as much as they would have liked because of COVID-19.
Several members had to quarantine throughout certain periods of the season, which makes practice difficult for such a small team. Whether it was an illness scare, the absence of meets or quarantine, the dive team must face these obstacles to prepare for the meets.
