Our Senior women – Riley Baron, Sarah Flaherty, Katherine Lee, Brianna Mulcahy, Sydney Ruschmeier, Rebecca Sembrano, Samantha Whitney and our Graduate students Isabella Pabon and Kate DiRaimo are all model student athletes. Great in the pool and in the classroom, deck and locker room,” commented Cavataro.
The Iona men – Jake DeMartino, Trevor Foti, Daniel Hadary, Aidan Holbrook, Jackson Madonia, Mauro Pacsi, Jalen Ramjohn and graduate students Spencer Moran and Conor Mullin have been dominant in nearly every meet over the past four years. These men all have progressed so much in the pool and with the leadership on deck, in the weight room and class,” continued Cavataro.
