Coming off with a victory against Greenwich, their biggest competitor, on Tuesday, October 25th, the girls Swim and Dive team rode the wave to success with a win against Wilton. Senior Phoebe Slaughter reflected on the meet saying, “Wilton had strong swimmers but we had more depth among swimmers which gave us higher places and more points.” Senior Leigh Harrison won the 100 breastroke, junior Kaki Christensen won the 100 and 50 freestyle, and junior Isabel Blaze won the 100 fly. The team also swept all of the relays coming in first in the 200 medley, 200 freestyle, and 400 freestyle relay. The team is undefeated and won their two hardest meets of the season proving that they have the ability to take the triple crown. This meet was the closing to the dual meet season, and now the team swims into the championship season hoping to “win states, FCIACSs, and state opens, however states is our main priority,” junior Katie Martin said.  
On November 1st, come support the girls Swim and Dive team in the FCIAC swimming trials against Greenwich at 4:30 PM!
