Lily Archibald was one of the standouts on the day for the winning team. The Rice commit picked up her first individual win of the meet with a state record in the 100 butterfly, swimming 53.37. It was a lifetime best for her at the time, before she clocked 53.10 at the Winter Junior Championship — East.
Bridget Kelly (50.93). Ava Ward (50.78) and Kiera Giles (52.16) swam the back half of the relay, and the quartet stopped the clock at 3:23.97 for a state record to seal the overall win.
Paul Marchese told CT Insider. “So, that’s how bad they wanted the record. And they went 3:23. It really is the perfect way to end [the meet].”
Ellie Griffin, Giles, and Maddie Muncy to win the 200 free relay (1:35.51).
Riley Anderson was the third double-event winner at the championships. Anderson, verbally committed to Duke, swept the sprint freestyle events. She swam season-bests in both, clocking 22.67 in the 50 freestyle and 49.66 in the 100 freestyle.
Riley McGerald earned Ridgefield’s other individual event win of the day. She won the 100 breaststroke, getting out to a fast start on the first half, then holding off the field over the second 50 yards. She swam 1:05.43, leading a trio of 1:05 swims from Seymour freshman Ana David and Norwalk-McMahon freshman Emma Giafardino. Earlier in the meet, David won the 200 IM (2:05.72), earning her first individual State Open title at her first championships.
