Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose to evaluate this article because I feel that as a college athlete at UCSD, I have a good sense of collegiate athletics. Additionally, I feel that I have a good understanding of what is important and less important. My initial thoughts are that the transition to Division 1 is flushed out well. However, I feel like the individual sports could use to be more detailed and updated to current.

Lead section: The lead section here is strong and introduces the program. I think it mentions important events such as the transition to D1 as well as the success in the division 2 era.

Content: Although the information is relevant, it is out of date. Many of the sports have the record only listed up to 2017. Mens basketball and women's waterpolo are also underrepresented in relation to the rest of the other teams. King Triton as the mascot is also lacking substantial information.

Tone and Balance: There is a neutral tone through the entire article.

Sources and References: Many of the sources and references are outdated

Organization and Writing Quality: Well written but could use further development.

Images and Media: Lacking some more media and visuals. It would be fitting to include an image of the mascot.

This article is developed, but there is an uneven representation throughout the different sports. Additionally, the information is outdated and many sports need a more current update.
