Swim team’s fate left up to Chancellor
Published November 19, 2009
The debate over whether or not to discontinue the swim and dive program at UW-River Falls is in its final stages after the Athletic Committee voted 6-1 to keep the swim team on Nov. 9.
In an e-mail sent to the supporters and members of the swim team, Head Coach Bill Henderson said, “this is a positive step, but not the final call. Keep your fingers crossed and continue to encourage your family and friends to write the chancellor and tell our story.”
The recommendation made by the Athletic Committee will now go on to Chancellor Dean Van Galen, who will make the final decision. The decision is expected to be made just before Thanksgiving.
