Team highlights from the meet:
Freshman Reina Pate made her debut for the Rattlers in the women's 100 butterfly. Her third place time of 1:11.16 earned her a spot in Rattler Swimming history. She now owns the fifth fastest time ever in that event at Florida A&M.
Sophomore Alexandria Age had the best finish of the day in the women's 100 yard backstroke (1:05.84).

The trio of juniors for the ladies posted great swims in the first meet of the year.
Jasmine Leslie and Kelle' Wyatt got things started with their swims in the 200 yard freestyle.
Leslie then came back the next event and swam a personal best in the 50 yard freestyle. (:27.65)
Bria Bennett nabbed a fourth place finish with a personal best time in the women's 100 yard butterfly.
The lady Rattlers despite the loss showed much improvement from last season. They look to keep that ball rolling when they host the CCSA conference champion Florida Gulf Coast University.

  1. Congrats,

    Way to go Alexandria Age. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. You look awesome and I must say I am very proud of you. Who would have every thought we would have a butterfly in the family that can swim in water.
    Looking Good, Looking Good, I’m very proud of you.

    Love your cousin Lekenja,
