Girls Diving Lands FCIAC Second Place


-By: Julia Lang-

For the first time this decade, all four Darien divers competed in the FCIAC finals at Westhill High School on Thursday (11/14). The wave finished second, loosing only to the Greenwich Cardinals. Freshman Molly Klein finished 16th and senior Adrianna Baker finished 10th. The dynamic Ashcraft duo showed off their talents, with senior Alexandra finishing third and sophomore Caroline finishing fifth. Alexandra also made it onto the 1st team all FCIAC team while Caroline made the 2nd team. Despite the team’s amazing results, Baker said that the officials “were judging really low”. “At the meet, the judging was erratic as usual,” Baker said. While the officials may have been scoring more harshly than usual on Thursday, the team is still thrilled with its results. Darien finished only 7 points behind Greenwich High School with a total score of 38 points. Follow the team’s results as they head to States later this month! The girls will dive for the first time in the class L division for States Wednesday (11/10). Congratulations Darien Divers!
