Victoria Crea is another record holder for the Dolphins and she will want to reestablish herself this season after missing last season due to an injury.
Swimmers to Watch (JJC): Bokey Wong took second place in the 200 yard freestyle in last year’s meeting as well as a first place finish in the 100 yard butterfly. Wong will try to help lift her squad over the Dolphins tonight with top three finishes.
News and Notes: The Dolphins have defeated the Bloodhounds in four straight years. Their last defeat came in the 2011-12 season where the Bloodhounds won 114-102. The women finished third last season in the CUNYAC Championship Meet and will look to move up into the top two this season. The 2013-14 season was the last time the women won their opening meet, so they will come into tonight’s meet with some extra motivation.
