ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Ithaca College gymnastics team will host Brockport and Rhode Island College at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Hill Center. The meet is the annual Harriet Marranca Memorial Invitational, and is also the team's annual "pink meet" in support of breast cancer awareness. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Bombers will wear pink leotards in an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer research and to support those who have been affected by breast cancer.

The late Harriet Marranca helped build the foundation for the Ithaca College gymnastics program. Marranca's teams produced a 68-47 dual-meet record and state titles in 1970 and 1981. After retiring from coaching she continued to teach at the school and remained an active supporter of the gymnastics program until her death. Marranca was inducted into Ithaca College's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999.
