General Swimming & Diving Compete in Region III Championships

Rochester, NY-- The Herkimer Generals swimming and diving team competed in the Region III tournament this past weekend hosted by Monroe Community College.  Monroe being a powerhouse for the last 17 seasons did not earn the top spot this year as Genesee took over at number 1.  Herkimer aided in this by defeating Monroe in select events to knock them down in points.  The Generals finished 4th in the Region for Men, and 5th in the Region for Women.  Head Coach Vicki Brown told her team before the tournament, "I'm proud of you for all you have striven for this season; the goals we have accomplished, but most of all the people you have become.  Give your best every time out there, you best may not be the same each day but give it everything you have in each moment."
