He also set a new record at the College of Staten Island pool with his sub-one minute time of 58.56.

For the women, they outscored the Dolphins 125-96 and produced three personal bests in the meet.

She placed first in the 500 freestyle event, in a time of 5:32.89 while coming in second in the 1000 free. Delaney Noel also produced a one-two day with a top swim in the 1000 free ahead of Munayirji, and was second to the rookie in the 500 freestyle. 

Isabella Bonagura produced her first gold of her career with a first place finish in the 100 freestyle (1:01.60) as did Anastasia Pagonis in the 200 freestyle (2:14.83). Returner Ashleigh Gault clocked in at 1:07.65 in the 100 backstroke to come in over four seconds faster than her teammate Shannon Pepe and over seven seconds quicker than the competitor from Staten Island.
