Yesterday, November 12th, the Darien High School Girls Varsity Swim team took home the highest honor at their meet, which took place at Southern Connecticut State University. The Wave had to beat many other teams in order to achieve the win, such as New Canaan, Cheshire, Pomeraug, and Wilton. However, none of these competitors came close to the Wave’s overall score of 815.5 points. New Canaan came in second place with 570 points, Cheshire in third with 547 points, and Wilton in fourth with 477 points. These points show that the Wave clearly dominated the Class L Tournament, even it had 13 seniors graduate last year.
Reflecting back on the event, senior Courtney Ferreira said, “Going into the meet, we knew we were up against some really tough competition. Class L has a lot of really strong teams like New Canaan and Wilton, so we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy meet. Everyone swam really well last Saturday at trials, so we were just hoping to either stay on our times or improve them. Everyone did such a phenomenal job and our underclassmen really stepped up to the plate. One person who specifically had a really great swim was my co-captain Mackenzie Coughlin who went a 58 in the 100 butterfly.”
Come support DHS’ Girls Varsity Swim team at their next meet this Saturday, November 15th. It will take place at the Yale University pool at 7:30pm.
