Daniela Giraldo has been named the CUNYAC/Applebee's Women's Swimming & Diving Rookie of the Week for the week of 11/11-11/17.  The first year swimmer had an outstanding tri-meet against Queens College and Adelphi University with a first place, second place and a third place finish in three events.  In the 200 yard freestyle, the freshman finished in 2:12.10 giving her a third place finish against Adelphi and a second place finish against Queens.  For the 200 yard freestyle relay, the Whitestone native helped the relay team to a second place finish with a time of 151.55.  Giraldo's biggest finish of the day came in the 100 yard butterfly where she finished ahead of her competition and set a new school and freshman record with a time of 1:03.29.  The St. Francis Prep alumni has had a strong start to her college swimming career and looks to continue her success next week against SUNY Maritime.
