Greenwich swimmers out to repeat as FCIAC, LL and Open champions

Entering its 2017 season with two straight State Open titles and seven consecutive Class LL championships to its ledger, the Greenwich High School girls swimming team added the FCIAC crown to the mix last fall.

Now the Cardinals are relying on five experienced seniors and one sensational sophomore to help continue their reign of supremacy in the conference and state.
