NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut University swimming and diving program celebrated 50 years of excellence on Saturday with an array of festivities. The day kicked off with the annual Alumni Meet at Hutchinson Natatorium and was followed by recognition of the program's greats at the Hall of Fame unveiling ceremony. The former Owls and their families were then treated to a special event during the Homecoming football game before the day wrapped up with a formal dinner and the presentation of two special awards. The Bruce Hutchinson Award was presented to former Owl Bill Krumm, while the Kay Fromer Award was given to former women's swimming coach Mary Kay Samko, who led the Owls from 1982-87. In all, approximately 150 individuals returned to campus to take part in the celebration.
