Coast Guard travels to NY to face against New Paltz for the 2nd straight week.  Last week, Coast Guard swept the Union Relay meet, scoring 120 points on the women’s side and 164 points on the mens side.

Last Week:

The Hawk women finished 3rd of 4 teams and the men finished 4th of 4 at the Union Relay Invitational.  The Hawk women claimed three relay victories, in the 300 Back Relay (Suzuka, Morris, Lester), 300 Fly Relay (Suzuka, Genovese, Wells) and 500 Crescendo Relay (Lown, Wells, Morris, Lester).  Diving played a big part in the finish as New Paltz men would have finished 2nd if we had a program.  Results can be found here:  http://www.unionathletics.com/documents/2009/10/31/Union%20Relay%20Results%202009.htm?id=602
