Leah Hadden and Katsiaryna Pleshankova, students on the Brighton Campus, and Rosemary Rivera and Trelawney McKnight, who take classes at Damon City Campus, will be honored during an awards luncheon on April 7. Hadden, who qualified for the first team, will receive a medallion and two years of free tuition to the State University of New York College or university of her choice; Pleshankova and Rivera, who made the second team, and McKnight, who made the third team, will receive certificates and medallions for their achievements.
