Boys Swimming Bests Danbury

By Scotty Tuck

On Thursday, February 1st, the Darien High School Boys Swim and Dive team won their meet against Danbury. The previously 5-1-1 team lead by captains Chris Zhang, Connor Henry, Kevin Grune, Alex Dehmel, and Brendan Ross went into the meet confidently, having tied powerhouse Greenwich High School  and experiencing a very successful season thus far. For Darien the meet was strong throughout, as the team scored first in every event except for the 100 Butterfly. This win increases Darien’s record to 6-1-1, and gives them confidence as they head into the tail end of the regular dual meet season.
