DELHI, N.Y. (March 15, 2021) – The SUNY Delhi swimming and diving teams competed Friday evening in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Virtual Invitational. Sophomore Kaitlyn Quezada led the Broncos with second-place finishes in the 100-yard IM (1:08.89) and 50-yard freestyle (27.38). The men finished third with 82 points, while the women took fourth with 103 points.

Friday's meet marked the Broncos' first event as members of the NAC since the conference added men's and women's swimming & diving earlier this year. The four participating conference members – SUNY Delhi, Cazenovia, Husson, Maine Maritime – each competed in their own pool, with results from each site combined to determine overall placing and scoring. Husson swept the women's and men's first-place accolades with 702 and 604 points, respectively.

Quezada also took fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:19.90). Newcomer Kayley Walsh took third in both the 50 and 100-yard butterfly at 30.47 and 1:11.74, respectively, while earning sixth in the 100-yard freestyle (1:06.21). Alexandria Caceres tied with Walsh for third in the 50-yard butterfly (30.47), then took another third-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle (27.63).

The men's highest finish was in the concluding 400-yard freestyle relay, where the quartet of Jeremiah Brathwaite, Jonathon Brathwaite, Joshua Lopez, and Sebastian Herrera clocked in at 5:20.79.
