By: Kevin Cassidy-On Thursday night in a packed Greenwich High, the Darien Boys Varsity Swim and Dive team team competed in its FCIAC Finals. The team walked away in fourth place, behind Greenwich, New Canaan, and West Hill. DHS senior captain Chris Weihs told Neirad, "This was the most successful FCIAC finish in recent years". Weihs went on to say, "The team really stepped up this year". Weihs himself had a great meet, finishing in fifth place in the 200 Freestyle and fourth place in the 100 Freestyle. Other notable performances by the Wave included senior captain Jake Greene, as well as sophomores Tyler Gould and James Baker. Greene had a personal best in the 500 Freestyle (20 Laps!), posting a time of 4:46.73. Gould had an impressive third place finish in the 50 Freestyle. Baker was able to place in sixth in both of his personal events. The final standings in the meet came down to the final race. Darien went in trailing to Ridgefield by one point. The relay team of Weihs, Greene, Gould, and Baker would place third in the final race to secure the 4th place finish, and in doing so were also able to post a recored for the 400 Freestyle Relay event. The next stop for the Boys Swim and Dive team the the State Championship. (Caption: Chris Weihs, Jake Greene, James Baker, and Tyler Gould huddle together with their Coach before the final race)
