Branford Girls Track Team Wins in Windy Weather

wins 15 of 18 events at recent meet against New London High School and Grasso Technical School. The meet was away in New London on April 27. 

Results: Branford: 122, New London: 18; Branford: 124, Grasso Tech: 21

Meet Highlight: This was a good meet to give some of the younger atletes a chance to win and place in their events. Girls Track won 15 of 18 events.

Coach's Comments: This was a very windy day; it really slowed down the sprinters and hampered the field events. New London is a team that only a few years ago had less than a dozen athletes; now they fielded a complete team. We have a tough couple of meets coming up: Mercy and Hamden.  If we can do what we're capable of we'll be ok.

Team Record: 6-4
