KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Members of the Ukrainian American Sports Center Tryzub captured the team trophy at the 1999 swimming championships of the Ukrainian Sports Federation of the U.S.A. and Canada (USCAK), held at the Ukrainian National Association's Soyuzivka resort over the Labor Day weekend.

In the process Tryzub swimmers set four new meet records:

The Tryzub team earned 169 points by virtue of its performances at the meet. The Chornomorska Sitch team was second with 145 points, while the Ukrainian American Youth Association (SUM) placed third with 28. A lone swimmer for Plast earned 5 points.

Thirty-eight swimmers competed in the meet, which began on Saturday morning, September 4. The awards ceremony was held later that afternoon on the grounds of the Vorokhta villa.

At the closing ceremonies brief speeches were delivered by Ulana Diachuk, UNA president; Myron Stebelsky of USCAK; and Omelan Twardowsky of Sitch. Mrs. Diachuk thanked meet organizers, especially Marika Bokalo, USCAK swimming chair and meet director, for running an efficient meet.

Medals were awarded to winners of the 46 individual events and eight relays; while trophies were presented to the top teams. USCAK patches were presented to all gold medalists.

In addition, meet participants received ribbons, while four members of the Veseli Cherevychky children's ensemble from Lviv who were allowed to swim in the meet, as guests, received honorary medals as keepsakes of their participation.
