Joely Bernat of Lehman is this week’s Rookie of the Week, as she helped the Lightning (1-4 overall, 1-0 CUNYAC) defeat John Jay 53-42.
In the 50-yard freestyle, she took first place in 30.80, a personal best. She then swam 1:10.45, a personal record, in the 100-free, before turning out a 31.02 split in her leg of the 200-free relay. That relay team took first place.
The Lightning are not in action again until December.
