“Obviously, we would have loved to score an extra six points and won the meet,” Davidson said. “But with that being said I think we fought hard for three days till the very end. I think everyone really put themselves on the line. The way we were racing and competing, there is a lot to admire in the effort we put forth.”

At the end of the championship, Ranta was presented with the Ron Keenhold Award, as he earned more career points as a diver at the Ivy League Championships than any other senior in the Ancient Eight.

“The meet itself was so exciting, and there was so much energy,” Ranta said. “I think the success for me would be winning the Ron Keenhold career high-point diving award…[but] just the whole Ivy championship meet in general was really an exciting time for the team. [It] was a great way to end the season.”

But the season hadn’t quite ended for three Crimson divers, who traveled to Annapolis, Md., to take part in the NCAA Zone Diving Championships.

Stanton finished 13th in the one-meter event and 16th in the three-meter final. Zarrella placed 16th in the one-meter event, and Ranta finished 13th in the three meter.

“I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished,” Davidson said. “We won the HYP, which we haven’t done for the past two years. Even though we barely missed taking the conference [championship meet], the team’s looking great for years to come based off the number of young guys we have we have coming up in the ranks. I would say there is a lot to look forward to in the future.”
