Wethersfield Swimming & Diving Solid at States

Wethersfield girls swimming and diving took eighth place at the Class L championship. 

Senior Alanna DePinto finished second in the 50 freestyle and sophomore Sabrina Schuster placed right behind her in third. The duo repeated the second and third place finishes in the 100 freestyle, and teamed with Jaime Condon and Olivia Krout for a 4th place finishing in the 400 freestyle relay team. During the event, DePinto broke her own varsity record in the 100 free, swimming an all-time best 52.62.

Head coach Lee Schwartzman stated, “This meet was incredibly fast and I’m very proud of all the girls for stepping up big time. It was so nice to be back at a big meet with 20 teams. It takes experience to thrive in meets like this and many of my young team gained valuable experience early in their careers.”

The Eagles went on to place 15th at the State Open. DePinto had a fifth-place finish in the 100 freestyle and top-ten finish in the 50 freestyle. 

Schwartzman added that this year’s squad wasn’t necessarily built for the postseason, yet excelled in dual meets this year because of their depth. 
 
​The veteran coach stated that this year’s group was a pleasure to coach, saying, “Every single day of practice this year was a dream. Being a school teacher in 2021 is not an easy thing some days. But to be able to go to the pool, expect high expectations and have a group absolutely deliver every single day is probably going to be my lasting memory.”
