Bridgewater State and Elms Honor Sandy Hook Victims
College Swimming Article
When Bridgewater State and Elms College hit the pool on January
9th, both teams will be wearing the same cap. The decision
was made in part because both campuses have been hit hard by the
December 14th tragedy.
Bridgewater State Head coach Michael Caruso and
Beth Yohai (K & B Sports) have designed a
swimming cap for both teams to wear as a tribute to everyone that
was affected by the tragedy.
"Bridgewater State University has been known as an institution
that has put forth many teachers throughout the United States and
across the world," Caruso explained. "We feel it is important
to honor and support all the teachers, staff, students, and
families of Sandy Hook Elementary School and the residents of
Newtown, Connecticut."
The teams will be asking for donations at the meet on January 9,
2013 to help cover the cost of the swimming caps for both
teams. Any donations over and above the cost of the caps will
go directly to the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Sandy
Hook School Support Fund.
If you are unable to attend you can send a donation to:

The competition that day will also be broadcast with live sound
and video over the internet from Moriarty Pool.
