Among the state’s top 500, swimmers from Guilderville, made up of Guilderland and Voorheesville students, and Helderberg Valley, made up of Berne-Knox-Westerlo and Duanesburg students, put their talents against the best swimmers from all over New York this weekend at Ithaca College.

Girls on the Guilderland-Voorheesville swim team, who call themselves the Geese, traveled to Shaker to take on the Blue Bison last Friday afternoon. Shaker doesn’t have a diving board but the girls were still up to the task to beat the Blue Bison, 86 to 79.

The Guilderville and Duanesburg-BKW swim teams showed off their skills during last weekend's Division 1 and Division 2 sectional championship at Shenendehowa High School in efforts to win sectional titles and qualify for state competition.

Three relay teams along with four individual swimmers and two divers from the Guilderville team — made up of girls from Guilderland and Voorheesville — competed at Ithaca College in Friday and Saturday at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association state championships.
