Howard College has captured each males’s and ladies’s swimming and diving championships for the Northeast Convention. The wins make Howard the standard-bearer for Black swimming packages.
The college excelled on Feb. 20, to take house the Northeast Convention Swimming and Diving Championships. For the ladies’s staff, that is its first NEC title in program historical past. The boys’s staff gained its second straight championship, the third in 4 years.

The NEC Championships happened on the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio, Feb. 17-20.
