Description: An extremely young team last year that lost very few pieces to graduation, RIT showed major growth from their loss at the beginning of the season to RPI to their 7th place finish at states. Swimmers like Matt Rolleston showed large improvements and are definitely a more dangerous team than they were last year. RIT’s women’s team finished states in 6th to RPI’s 7th.

  2. Also, John Tellgren quit last year, however Matt Depalo is good and Sam Huselstein is good on the ladies side.
