Central Connecticut swimming and diving senior Kristina Gulia finished Friday morning's 200m long course breaststroke preliminary in 27th place overall with her time of 2:46.08 at the Austin Grand Prix in Austin, TX. With her performance, Gulia qualified to participate in the Austin Grand Prix finals where she finished 30th overall in 2:45.58.

On Saturday, freshman Christine Rasile, who has enjoyed an impressive inaugural season at CCSU thus far, competed in the 50m long course freestyle preliminary in which she placed 47th overall out of 100 swimmers with her time of 27.76.
