“I can’t believe we won this meet.”
That’s what Greenwich High School boys swimming coach Terry Lowe said out loud to himself immediately following Saturday’s State Open Swimming Championships — an event in which the Cardinals were pushed to the absolute limit by Pomperaug, yet still continued its reign of supremacy.
Trailing Pomperaug for a good portion of the meet, a sixth-place finish in the final event of the day — the 400-yard freestyle relay — was good enough for Greenwich to hold off Pomperaug and win its fifth straight CIAC State Open title and 34th overall by the slimmest of margins.
