Here are the details from each of the last three events:
Overcoming Wilton 111 to 75
On Friday, Sept. 20, the Darien High School Girls Swim and Dive team opened its season with a decisive victory over Wilton High School.
The Blue Wave placed first in 10 out of 12 events and swept the diving competition, which was held on Tuesday, September 17. The 111 – 75 win was especially sweet for the team’s fourteen seniors as they haven’t beaten the Warriors in a dual meet competition since they were freshmen.
Darien jumped out with the early lead with first-place finishes in the 200 medley relay, 200 free, and 200 IM. The relay team including Meg Erickson, Emma Mansourian, Hope Murray and Natalia Ferranto placed first at 153.55.
