Senior Hans Anderson and juniors Aiden Johnson, Jackson Rankin, and Warren Kozak were recognized, showcasing their talent and hard work. Anderson, a chemistry major, was named MIAC's Diver of the Year, while Rankin set a school record and claimed the conference crown in the 200-yard butterfly. The selection criteria included a minimum 3.50 GPA and significant participation in competitions.
