PHILADELPHIA - The Drexel men's and women's swimming and diving teams are headed to the Christiansburg Aquatic Center in Christiansburg, Va. to compete for the 2022 Colonial Athletic Association's Swimming and Diving championships. The four-day event starts on Wednesday, Feb. 16 and ends on Saturday, Feb. 19.
Last Time Out
The men's team finished their season 3-1. Most notably, the Dragons collected a big win against Towson to close out the 2022 regular season. The Dragons defeated the reigning CAA champions by a score of 153-147.
The women's team went 4-1 in the regular season. The Dragons used some strong swims to earn victories against La Salle, Northeastern, Lehigh and Towson.
About Drexel
The men's team has been led by the senior and freshman duo of Paris Raptis and Alessio Gianni. Raptis collected two CAA swimmer of the week honors and holds the best 50 and 100 fly times in the conference. Gianni has had an impressive freshman season and is coming off a strong meet against Towson. The San Gimignano, Italy native finished with three first-place event. Also, Kacper Karnik, who owns the CAA's best 200 breast time, will try to make a splash like he did in his freshman campaign.
The women's team looks to be a force in the breast events as seniors Lera Nasedkina and Megan Sicinski own the first and second best time in the conference for the 50 breast, respectively. Nasedkina was named CAA player of the week back in November. Her best meet came at the Patriot Invitational, where she clocked in five program records and collected six medals. Fede Nocera has had an impressive rookie season. She has won CAA rookie swimmer of the month twice and CAA swimmer of the week once. She will look to continue her success in the conference championships.
