Last year, the Redhawks had 11 performances that went down as top-ten all-time times at Seattle U. Every one of those athletes is back this year looking to move further up the record books. Will Corona, who has five individual performances in Seattle U's top-ten lists, will return for his junior season. Juan Varela, Kyle Bailey, and Jack Neton are all back as well, which each of them holding multiple spots on the individual top-ten lists.
