"Before her injury, Vivian was an NCAA regional qualifier. Even as a freshman, she was a regional qualifier and scored every time she competed at conference meets. Vivian was a very competitive athlete that always stepped up when it mattered. It is unfortunate Vivian was unable to finish her career the way we hoped she could have."
