Alumni Weekend

Another enjoyable and entertaining Alumni Weekend has concluded. The weekend began on Friday night with a gathering at one of Oleans wateringholes that got the stories rolling. Saturday saw the annual softball game a relaxed affair with the alums proving again to be too much, with skewed rules and endless outs, for the current team. The afternoon bar-b-que served as an opportunity for the stories to really get rolling while enjoying a beautiful day that permitted everyone to get blisteringly sunburned. The cornhole court was owned by the coaches who went undefeated for the afternoon. The b-b-que also served as the canvass for the newest addition to the weekend, a challenge swim that was waged between Scott Jordan and Mariusz Michalik in a negotiated 400 breaststroke. Scott who is training regularly felt that he would be able to handle the 4 time A-10 200 breaststroke champ who had not touched the water since the 2010 A-10's. Vigorous betting set the stage for the benefit swim, to assist the program, and a sizable crowd got to witness the spectacle. Oosh led from start to finish and cranked out a 2:22, 200 split on his way to the easy victory. The group then headed into Allegany to relive their college days. Breakfast at the Hick, this morning, served as the conclusion of the weekend.

Thanks to all of those in attendance and we really look forward to seeing many of you in Florida in early January!!!
