Three years ago, when I first picked up a camera for The Prospector, I could not have imagined where the journey would lead. I was a nervous engineering major, hoping to contribute a few photos and gain experience. I never expected a newsroom to become a place I could call home.

Balancing deadlines with engineering coursework tested my limits more times than I could count. There were days when the camera felt too heavy, and the blank cutline box seemed impossible. But even during those moments, the newsroom gave me something to hold onto, a reminder that my work mattered, even when it felt small.

None of this would have been possible without the people who stood beside me, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this journey unforgettable.

Vero, thank you for bringing me into Student Media and Publications as a work-study student and giving me a chance to grow with little to no experience in journalism. Your trust in me opened the door to opportunities I never imagined.

Isa, thank you for always welcoming me with a smile and being there whenever I needed help or advice. Your kindness and support made the newsroom feel like a second home.

Amy, thank you for being my first friend at Student Media and Publications and showing me how to get by smoothly. Thank you also for always helping me with the camera equipment, even when I sometimes kept it too long.

Catching, thank you for bringing so much laughter and light into my life. I cannot tell you how many bad days you turned around just by being yourself. Your positivity made everything better.

Alyda, even though we only had a year together, it feels like we have been friends for much longer. I will miss the endless laughs, conversations, and spontaneous moments that made every day a little brighter.

Sofia and Gael, my favorite duo, thank you for all the laughs that made even the busiest, most stressful days easier to get through. Your energy and friendship are truly special.

Iziah, thank you for being the best photography partner I could have asked for. Whether we were out on assignment or brainstorming ideas, your creativity and friendship made the work more meaningful.

Avery and Emmanuel, thank you for being some of my kindest and most genuine friends. You made me feel welcome from the beginning and were always there for me.

Sebastian, thank you for being the coolest coworker and an even better friend. Your presence always made the newsroom a better and more exciting place.

To Diego, Jesie, Ximena, Kristian, Vianah, Joseph, Jazmine, Evelyn, Cameron, Daniela, Sadie, and Yael, thank you for creating a family within The Prospector. Working alongside all of you made every day more inspiring. I cannot wait to see the incredible work you will continue to create.

To my family and boyfriend, thank you for being my most excellent support system throughout this journey. Your encouragement, belief in my potential, and constant help with my photography gave me the confidence and skills I needed to grow. I am forever grateful for everything you have done to help me become who I am today.

Graduating with my bachelor’s in engineering innovation and leadership with a concentration in civil engineering, a minor in structural engineering, and an emphasis in computer science while simultaneously working as a photographer at The Prospector and Minero Magazine was an impossible mission without the generous help I received from my friends and family.

Now, as I say goodbye, there is a sadness I cannot ignore. It is hard to leave a place that gave me a voice and even harder to leave the people who helped me find it. But there is gratitude, too, for every assignment that challenged me, every late night that taught me resilience, and every story that reminded me why journalism matters.

Thank you, Prospector family, for everything. The deadlines, the laughter, the long nights and the memories will always stay with me. Here are the stories we told, and the ones still waiting to be discovered.

BURNSVILLE, Minn. – After collecting two NSIC championship titles at the recent conference meet, Augustana’s own Ryan Hartman has been named the NSIC Outdoor Men’s Track Athlete of the Year, league officials announced Thursday.
 
He becomes the fourth men’s track and field athlete in program history to earn the conference honor.
 
Hartman has continued to dominant competition in multiple events in his last season at Augustana. He took home two top finishes in the final day of the NSIC Championship meet, cruising to first in the 1500-meter run in 3:49.24 and first in the 5000-meter run in 14:40.75. He was a member of the Augustana men’s distance medley relay that rewrote school history with their win at the Drake Relays, which secured both conference and national weekly honors for their performance.
 
He ran two personal bests in those two events earlier in the season out at the 2025 Bryan Clay Invitational, even going so far as to place fourth overall in the 5000-meter run in a loaded field of athletes from across the country. His times in both the 1500-meter and 5000-meter are seeded in the top 15 nationally this season.
 
Hartman will now head to Pueblo, Colorado for the NCAA DII Outdoor Track and Field Championships from May 22 to 24.

Title-holders Ferencvaros enjoyed an easy cruise against Oradea to finish top of Group B and will face Marseille in the semi-finals of the Final Four in Malta. The French fell in Piraeus to eliminated Olympiacos, as the Greeks restored some much-needed pride by ending Marseille’s four-match winning streak with a fine victory. The result allowed Novi Beograd to regain the top spot in Group A, as the Serbs beat Jadran in Split without any headaches. In the semis, the Serbs will meet Barceloneta, who delivered an expected big win over Savona on the final day of the Quarter Final Stage on Wednesday night.

Olympiacos ended their Champions League campaign on a high note, with a convincing win against Marseille. However, it was a mere consolation for the Greeks, who had lost their previous four games and consequently were already heading to the exit before this last round.

The result also dropped the French to second place in Group A, so they now have the daunting task of facing the title-holders FTC in the semis in Malta.

Hosts Olympiacos got off to a flying start in their final game, and several fine finishes from man-ups earned them a 4-1 lead after eight minutes.

Though the second period saw one goal apiece, it was still a crucial phase for Olympiacos, as they managed to kill five of Marseille’s six man-ups. The French side were relentless in attack, demonstrating how keen they were to take the top spot, but they couldn’t outplay the Greek’s disciplined defence.

The third period was a sharp contrast to the first half, as both defences could no longer withhold the powerful forward play. It was an eight-goal blast, four apiece, but Olympiacos never lost control of their lead.

At 9-4, they seemed to have it, but the French giants pulled two back with great action goals from Thomas Vernoux and Vladan Spaic, and Vernoux added another one from a six on five for 9-7 early in the fourth.

The French even had a possession to cut the deficit to one, but Emmanouil Zerdevas produced a fine save and Zalanki’s blast ended Marseille’s momentum.

Indeed, it finished the visitors off, as they were unable to score for seven minutes, while Olympiacos netted two more to bag at least a home win in the Quarter Final Stage.

VK Jadran Split fielded a really young team in the final game, as they rested their star players for the Croatian championship final, where they face tough rivals Mladost. In contrast, NBG didn’t risk anything and sent their best side to the battlefield.

The Serbs also benefited from some weekend rest, as their opponents in the Serbian league, Radnicki, played the Euro Cup final on Saturday against Recco.

Jadran’s young guns managed to keep up with the visitors for eight minutes when they trailed 3-4, but next came three Serbian hits in a row, two from fast counters, finished by Luka Gladovic. He also netted one with three seconds remaining on the clock for a 5-9 half-time lead, which put the writing on the wall for the hosts.

NBG took care of business at the back in the second half, conceding only two more goals, while their attack added six more to their total.

The win landed them the top spot in Group A and a thrilling semi-final match-up with Spaniards Barceloneta.

FTC made no mistakes against Oradea and added three more points with ease. They never let the Romanians think they might have the tiniest chance, as a robust 5-1 start set the tone.

Their rivals fought hard in the second period and trailed 9-5 with 1:39 to go until half-time, but the class of Fradi was demonstrated once more as they took just 36 seconds to add two more – with a penalty save between the two hits – to lead 11-5.

The visitors, coming from a tough semi-final in their league, started running out of steam in the third as Fradi netted four more to stage a 6-0 run in total.

FTC’s defence was less tight in the fourth, as Oradea netted four more – just like they had in the second period – but they couldn’t prevent Fradi from setting a new single-game scoring record in the Quarter Final Stage.

The pressure on the Romanian defence was tremendous, with the number of shots on goal being 30-13, so it was Oradea’s goalies’ 10 stops that saved their team from an even heavier defeat.

Also, the 20 goals Fradi scored equalled Barceloneta’s top effort in the Group Stage – a fine tuning for their Final Four appearance, which is due at the end of May.

Barceloneta weren’t really hoping to reach the first place, as miracles rarely happen in water polo – but the Spaniards still played at full throttle, as they’re preparing for their domestic final and for the Final Four.

Early in the second quarter, Savona managed to pull one goal back for 4-2, but the next phase of the match saw a 6-0 rush from CNAB, and after 10-2 only the winning margin was in question.

It took 11 minutes for the Italians to score again, while Barceloneta led 12-5 after three periods.

The Spaniards’ defence eased up in the fourth, letting Savona double the number of their goals, but it was still a powerful victory for CNAB, with just two of their outfield players failing to make the scoresheet.
