Kailey Dela Cruz from Aurora, Illinois has announced her commitment to continue her academic and athletic careers at Drexel beginning in fall 2026.
“I am beyond excited and incredibly grateful to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Drexel University! I’d like to thank God, my parents, family, coaches, friends, and teammates for each of their constant encouragement and support through this journey. And a special thank you to Coach Nathan and Coach Kile for giving me this amazing opportunity. GO DRAGONS!”

Dela Cruz swims for Academy Bullets Swim Club and finished her long course season at the NCSA Championships. There she posted lifetime best times in the 50 back with a 31.82 as well as the 100 back with a 1:08.18. She also swam a 29.61 50 fly for another best time.
She began her senior year this fall at Rosary High School and posted season best times last week at the MCAC Championships. Those times included a 24.56 in the 50 free and a 58.29 in the 100 back.
Dela Cruz’s Best Times Are:
200 fly: 2:02.37 100 fly: 56.45 400 IM: 4:28.83 200 free: 1:54.40The Drexel women finished 6th out of nine teams at the 2025 Coastal Athletic Association Championships with 730 points. Current sophomore Brittany Corbett led the way with conference titles in the 500 free (4:48.38) and 1650 free (16:37.19).
Based on her best times, Dela Cruz has the potential to make an immediate impact upon her arrival. Her best time in the 200 fly would have been 7th, joining Drexel’s Megan Ehrnfeldt in the ‘A’ final as Ehrnfeldt finished 2nd in a 2:00.43. Dela Cruz’s best time in the 100 fly and 400 IM best times would have made the conference ‘C’ final. Ehrnfeldt is currently in her senior season so the two will not overlap but Dela Cruz will try and fill the gap with the loss.
Dela Cruz will arrive next fall as a member of the class of 2030 along with Sophia Sileo-Magliari who primarily specializes in breaststroke.
