While the New York area got a touch of winter weather this week, the Fordham swimming team took off on their annual winter training trip to St. Croix in Virgin Islands.

The Rams take part in a number of dry land workouts, as well as indoor and outdoor pool practices.

One of the open competitions that Fordham takes part in is the Annual Dolphin Sea Swim, which is a mile open water competition.

In the 12th edition of the race which took place on Sunday, Fordham had the top individual performer in both the men's and women's competitions.  Steve Sholdra finished first in the men's race by 1:15 over the second place finisher with a time of 21:55.

He was one of seven Rams in the top 20 finishers along with Miguel Mattox (5th – 23:25), Ethan D'Arcangelo (7th – 23:40), Andrew Glockenmeier (11th – 24:00), Tommy Christensen (14th – 24:25), and Chris Viera (19th – 24:50).
