On October 3, UVM women’s swimmers and divers won 10 events and defeated Northeastern for the first time in program history as the Catamounts celebrated the 50th anniversary of the program competing in a conference.

“Earning this landmark win on the occasion of our 50th Anniversary celebration is a special moment for this program,” said Head Coach Gerry Cournoyer. “Our student-athletes performed at a very high level for the first meet of the season. It was fantastic to have so many alumnae and their kids bringing the energy on deck. This win is for everyone who’s worn the green and gold.”

Following the meet over 150 alumni and friends of the program gathered at Burlington Beer Company for a special alumni event to recognize the program’s 50th Anniversary season.
