NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Despite the rainy start the morning session of Day One at the Bahamas Swimming Nationals began on time and saw swimmers in several heats of several races hit the pool.

Our News caught up with Mako Aquatics Swimmer Katelyn Cabral and Howard University swimmer Tristan Stevens.

Head Coach of Howard University’s swim team, Nicholas Askew. He spoke about the expectations for his team.

Mako Aquatics Swim Club are four-time defending champions. Their head coach is Travano McPhee and we asked – is the goal to take home a fifth consecutive crown?

Meanwhile, Daalen Adderley has had a season for the ages.

The Texas Southern University outfielder has been named Conference Hitter of the Year, Conference MVP and HBCU All-Star.

He adds another accolade to this already-impressive list: All-American.

He has been one of the best hitters in all of college baseball this season.

Adderley has been one of the nation’s leaders in ops and batting average.

For his prodigious hitting talent, Adderley was named Conference Player of the Year and Hitter of the Year and as of yesterday, All-American.

On Wednesday, the college Baseball Writers of America named Adderley to the third team on its All-American list.

Adderley is one of only two players from an HBCU to be on an All-American team this year.

This honors his status as one of the best players in all of college baseball as the list is full of players from the biggest D1 schools in America.

Adderley is draft eligible as a junior, we’ll keep you posted on his next steps.
