The many of you who know that the Girls Indoor Track and
Field won FCIACs, FCIAC east, State Class L’s as well as a first-ever State
Open title, are probably wondering just how they came to win ALL three. Here is a quick play by play of the
Girls Indoor Track post-season.
FCIAC East took place on January 25th
at the Wilton track. Darien won 130 points in total, tramping Warde and Wilton
who both ended with 66 points. Other schools included St. Joes and New Canaan.
Next was FCIACs, which took place on January 31st. Similarly in
FCIACs, Darien won by a large number of points. Junior Dillon Scheon broke the
school record (running the 600 meter in one minute, 36 seconds and 8
miliseconds) and senior Grace Loh won the 1000 meter. Darien also won the 4 by
200 meter as well as the majority of the field events, including high jump,
long jump, pole vault, and shotput.
Next, States came on February 15th.
In States, Darien won 126 points, tramping Wilton’s 48 points. Darien then
advanced to State Opens, which took place a couple days later on February 19th.
Although State Opens was during break due to delays from storms, there were still a fair number of team
members able to compete. Darien won the 4 by 200 meter and long jump. All other
Darien competitors either got 2nd or 4th place in their
event.
Finally, those who qualified attended New England’s on March 3rd
at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Sophomore Catherine Lacy
broke the school record for long jump, winning her event. Sophomore Anna Sulgar
came in 8th and broke the school record for the 300 meter previously set by Liz
Merritt in 1995.
“Overall I’m really impressed with how everyone did and it
was exciting to see the team do so well, “ senior Ellen Bauer said.
Congratulations to the Girls Indoor for such a successful
season. We look forward to seeing their success next year!
