BOSTON – The Northeastern swimming and diving team departed from Boston today on its annual winter training trip. The Huskies will spend nine days in Islamorada, Fla. training for the second half of the season that opens up directly after the trip on Jan. 7 at Drexel with Delaware.
 
While in Florida, the Red and Black will participate in the Orange Bowl Classic in Key Largo on Jan. 3. The meet will feature some of the top teams in the country including Michigan and Texas A&M as well as familiar foes in George Mason and Vermont. The Huskies are set to go head-to-head with the Catamounts in Boston on Jan. 14. Middlebury and Florida International will also partake in the Orange Bowl Classic.
 
The Huskies were up bright and early, leaving campus at 5:45 a.m. to catch their flight from Logan Airport to Miami. Upon arriving in Miami, the team rented vans for the rest of the way to Islamorada. Wasting no time at all, the Red and Black got straight to work training both on land and in the water on day one.
