Greenwich Academy's swimming and diving team capped off an undefeated season with a New England title! The quad also won the FAA Championship. New Hampshire was good to GA's swimmers as they competed at Exeter. They went into the meet buoyed by a strong performance by GA's divers earlier in the week at Deerfield where they finished 3rd, 14th and 19th. The Gators won 5 of the 14 events and finished in the top 3 in 7 others. Another dominant performance as GA took home its second Championship in two years.

For the 8th time in its 36 year history, the Andover girls ascended to the highest peak in New England Swimming & Diving.

Having lost only to Exeter during the dual meet season, the Big Blue was positioned to be a real contender for the top crown. But the Big Red posted some amazing times in the seedings and the Big Blue needed to have a HOT day in order to rise about the red. And hot they were.

Choate Rosemary Hall cemented a New England title on March 1 as the girls' swimming & diving team dominated the championship meet at Deerfield Academy, posting 328 points, comfortably ahead of second-place Hopkins School (279) and third-place Andover (273).

"It's been a couple of decades since the Wild Boars won a New England title in this sport, though we have earned a slew of Founders League and Western New England crowns in recent years," observed athletic director Ned Gallagher. "We've finished second in the New Englands on both the girls' and boys' sides of the program more times than I can count in the past dozen years, so it was a thrill to see it all come together for our girls, especially after they weathered some disappointments earlier in the season. They really saved their best for last. Congratulations to Sara Massa, Todd Currie, Ben Small and all the coaches and, of course, to the swimmers and divers themselves. It was a terrific season!"
