Behrend's Swimming and Diving Team Help Erie City Mission
Penn State Behrend's men and women's swimming and diving teams collected
over 500 articles of clothing to benefit the Erie City Mission. The
swimmers and divers enlisted the help of their fellow students as well as
campus faculty and staff. Just one day of door to door donation
requests revealed what a caring and generous community the Behrend campus
fosters.
This is the third community service program the team has done
together this season. "I am so very proud of the team for thinking
beyond themselves and their efforts to make a difference," said coach Jen
Wallace.
The team will next travel to south to Pittsburgh on Friday, January 18 to take on the Cougars from Chatham University. Competition is set
to begin at 6:00 p.m. The next day the team will travel to Frostburg
for a tri-meet against Penn State Altoona at 2:00 p.m. These three
teams have battled for the top spot in the AMCC since the beginning of the
program in 2006. Currently, the Behrend Lions lead in both the men's
and women's standings.
