Senior Swimmers Graduate


At the 186th Commencement the Trinity College Swim Team said farewell to this years group of senior swimmers and wished them well as they head into the next exciting chapter of their lives. Pictured right are Senior men's and women's captains Jenna Carroll and Brian Castelluccio. Brian ended his stellar four year swimming and academic career by being recognized as one of 17 Trinity College Optimi, meaning he earned an A- or better in all courses required for his degree. 

Carroll ended her accomplished swimming and academic career by being honored with the Robert R. Bartlett Award for excellence in Athletics and Service to the Community. 

Brian will begin working towards his graduate degree at the University of Connecticut and Jenna has already begun work at a prestigious New York Law Firm. We wish all our Trinity Seniors the best of luck and know they will find success in whatever the future holds from them.
