JAMAICA, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) Throughout the month of April, yorkathletics.com will highlight those who have given us everything they had on their respective playing fields with senior features for each team's 2020-21 senior class.  With the cancellation of sports for the 2020-21 academic year, York athletics will celebrate and recognize our seniors online and on social media with our #YorkSeniorDay.  Today, head coach Samantha Oyola celebrates senior members Arafath Hussain and Anthony Jordan of the men's swimming team for their dedication to York athletics.



The duo combined to produce 48 of York's 50 points at the 2019 and 2020 CUNYAC Championship meets.  In 2020, Hussain and Jordan helped York earn 40 relay points with fourth-place finishes in the 200/400-yard freestyle and 200/400-yard medley events.  Then, at the 2019 conference championships, they combined efforts to generate eight points in the 200-yard medley relay.
 
Hussain, a native of Queens, graduated from the Academy of Finance & Enterprise.  He competed in 14 meets for the Cardinals from 2018-2020.  In addition to relays, Hussain swam in five individual races at championships, collecting top-10 finishes in the 100-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard backstroke.  He played eight matches during the 2019 season as a member of the tennis team, and in 2019-20, was named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete selection.  Hussain, who was also a member of the track & field team from 2018-19, will be graduating with a degree in aviation management. 
 
Jordan, a resident of Woodhaven, graduated from St. John's Prep.  From 2017-20, Jordan swam in 17 meets for the Cardinals.  Jordan competed in a total of nine CUNYAC Championship events, including top-10 showings in the 100 and 200-yard freestyle, and 100-yard backstroke races.  From 2018-19, Jordan contributed as a member of the track & field team.  Jordan will be graduating with a degree in movement science.
