VESTAL, N.Y. – Their days of competing in the college ranks are long since over but this past month, a handful of Binghamton alumni swimmers still managed to dive in the water for a big race.

Instead of the West Gym Pool, however, these alums from the program's Colonial era took part in the daunting Lake George Marathon. Held September 17-18, the Lake George Marathon annually invites both individual and relay teams to take part in the event. The six Binghamton alums were joined by three friends.

The complete relay team included:

Derek Bean –Kayak
Cos Asuar -Boat Captain
Marc Taillefer –Kayak
Jeff Steindorf '88 –Swimmer
Ed Smith '94 –Swimmer
Brian Powell '93 –Swimmer
Marty Winters '89 - Observer (kneeling)
Tom Curley '89 - Swimmer & Team Captain
Adam Pack '91 –Swimmer
