Alumna Marie Georger named to Metro Erie Sports Hall of Fame
Mercyhurst University alumna Marie Georger will be inducted into the 2024 Metro Erie Sports Hall of Fame on June 26.
Georger graduated from Mercyhurst in 2018 with a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership. During her tenure at Mercyhurst, she served as a graduate assistant coach to the late Curtis Robinette during Mercyhurst’s conference-winning water polo season.
Prior to Mercyhurst, she held numerous records during Catholic grade school swimming meets while a student at St. George School.

She helped the Wolverines to the Big 10 Championship in swimming and was an All-Academic Award recipient at Michigan.
She was the overall first-place swimmer for the Erie Bay Swim and was a two-time winner of the Erie Times-News Varsity Cup Award.
