The Darien High School spring sports teams started up in the third week of March to frigid temperatures. DHS athletes have been feeling low 30 to high 20 degree windy-rainy and even snowy weather throughout the past week.
Little relief has been given to bundled-up DHS athletes. Senior captain Brittany Osborn says the softball team is dealing well with the adversity, “The weather has been tough but we have absolutely been practicing. The girls have done an amazing job by sucking it up and focusing on practice.” With a busy schedule ahead Osborn says the team doesn’t have time to focus on the weather.
Senior Nick Howe says the weather had created some difficulty during tennis tryouts, “It was tough conditions and it was hard to judge players' ability in the cold and the wind”. Nonetheless, the team had to get prepared for their first match against Greenwich.
The baseball team, lacrosse teams, golf and track teams have also been battling the brutal weather for the past week. All teams, demanding excellence from this season, see the weather as an annoyance but nothing standing in their way of hopes for the season. Thankfully, the forecast is looking up, with temperatures in the high 40s and 50s for next week.
