She achieved the mark, which set a new Academy record, in the Mariners' last "regular season" meet of the season, the Fastrack Last Chance Invite back on Feb. 3.
This is the second time that Porzio will represent Kings Point at an NCAA National Championship event, as she also qualified for and competed in the 2022 Outdoor Championships last May.
