Bentley University diver Paige Wilde saved her best for last.
Wilde, a Naugatuck resident, won double gold at the Northeast-10 championships last month at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven. Wilde won the 3 meter and 1 meter titles at the championship to help Bentley to a second-place finish overall. Bentley finished with 13 medals, four gold, two silver and seven bronze.
"That was just an incredible finish for Paige," Bentley head swim coach Mary Kay Samko said. "She is moving on to the Nationals, but this was her last event as a senior at the NE-10 championship and this was her last dive and she nailed it.
"It was so exciting to see her finish her career like that with a double gold and to do it on her last dive. She has trained at Southern and I know this was huge for her. It was huge for us as she scored 40 points and we beat out Southern by seven points for second place."
