CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – The Herkimer Generals were back in action this past Saturday (9/18), competing in the annual Bruce Bridgman Invitational hosted by Finger Lakes Community College.

The women, on the other hand, saw Kaylan Zysk (Little Falls/Little Falls, N.Y.) turn in her 2^nd straight 4^th place finish. Her time of 23:37.6 equates to a 7:37 pace per mile.
