Reports on Meets: SILVERS- we will not be hosting this year- potentially being hosted by Newburgh Sharks: BRONZE- we are supposed to host, but it is the same weekend as the high school play. Looking into if the date can be changed, if not, we may have to look into hosting at another pool, maybe Washingtonville?
