Windsor Locks/Ellington/East Granby Swimmer Places at State Meet

NEW HAVEN, CT — For the third time in four years, athletes from Lauralton Hall turned in outstanding performances to capture the team title at the CIAC Class M girls swimming championships Wednesday in the pool at Southern Connecticut State University.

Despite winning just two of the 12 individual events, Lauralton Hall compiled 600 points to easily outdistance runner-up North Haven, which had 464. Brookfield was a close third with 445.

The Lauralton Hall program has now accumulated six Class M championships, four Class S titles and a State Open crown since 1989.
