Keuka finished sixth at the United States Synchronized Swimming CollegiateNationals last year and with its top three swimmers back, the Storm should main-tain their place among the nations premier programs.
Coach Nancy Wightman welcomes back Corenn Cookerly, Shannon Crowder, andJennifer Kaminska, which bodes well for the Storm's individual routines.
