Record-breakers
Senior kicker Austin Rehkow and junior quarterback Matt Linehan are moving up in the Idaho history books.

Linehan is third in passing average per game, 235.4, fifth in attempts, 1,037, completions, 625 and sixth in total passing yards with 7,395.
Linehan is second in the conference and 47th nationally in total passing yards this season with 1,883.
Rehkow is the NCAA career punting average leader with 46.6 kicks. In addition, he is the NCAA leader in field goals per game, with 2.25 and ranked second in the Sun Belt, ninth nationally, in field goal percentage, 0.90.
Rehkow leads the Sun Belt and is in the No. 9 spot nationally in total points, 72. In addition, Rehkow is second in the conference and 28th nationally for scoring average per game with 9 points.
The Vandals (4-4) are second in conference and 18th nationally for least total penalties, with 39 this season. Idaho averages 4.88 penalties per game, second in the Sun Belt and 21st nationally.
Redshirt sophomore linebacker Tony Lashley is tied for first in the conference and ranked ninth nationally in fumble recoveries with two. Senior cornerback Jayshawn Jordan and sophomore linebacker Kaden Elliss are tied for third in the conference and 24th nationally with three interceptions.
The Vandals play Louisiana-Lafayette 2 p.m. Saturday at Cajun Field.
Good adjustments
The Idaho women’s swim and dive team fell to Colorado State 180-118 Friday in Colorado.
Despite losing the first meet of the season, Idaho head coach Mark Sowa was not discouraged.
“Not the overall result we were looking for, but there were some real positives for our first meet of the year,” Sowa said in a news release.
Sophomore Janelle Lucas earned the highest score in the 3-meter diving competition. Sophomore Indiya Williams took second.
“Our 3-meter performance by our divers was really encouraging,” Sowa said. “It was great to see Janelle get the win but really cool to see Indiya competing well and most importantly, healthy.”
Sophomore Clothilde Peseux took first in the 100-meter breaststroke. Junior Cara Jernigan earned second and freshman Aimee Iwamoto grabbed second.
Peseux took first in the 200-meter breaststroke.
Sophomore Emily Kliewer took first in the 100-meter butterfly.
“Emily’s 100 fly was also an encouraging performance because she is experimenting with a different breathing position which looks like it might pay some dividends,” Sowa said. “Overall, we had some sloppy points, some nerves, but some good adjustments as well.”
Saturday brought the Vandals’ first double dual meet, against Northern Colorado and New Mexico State.
Idaho was victorious, winning over the Bears 171-7 and the Aggies 153-88.
Sophomore Erica King took first in the 1,000-meter freestyle.
The Vandals are now 2-0 in WAC competition.
The Vandals return to the pool against Northern Arizona 2 p.m. Friday at the UI Swim Center.
