The Lady Spartans Swimming and Diving Team took on the Hamden Green Dragons at the Orange Town Pool Thursday night.

Both teams performed splendidly, but the most impressive thing happening in the pool perhaps, was the show of sportsmanship on both sides.

This is always wonderful to see and a credit to the girls’ parents and coaches.

Make that five wins in a row for the undefeated Amity “Swimmin’ Women”. The Lady Spartans splashed past West Haven 91-82 in a Southern Connecticut Conference meet that wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate. Holding a commanding lead after Brittany Smith won the 500-yard freestyle in 5 minutes, 40.87 seconds, Coach Todd Rainey had his girls swim exhibition (non-scoring) for the meet’s final four events.

The meet began with Madeline Snow, Lydia Pokluda, Dana Grindall, and Dana Chung winning the 200 medley relay with their time of 1:56.26. Jess Kochiss posted a victorious 2:03.08 in the 200 free. Snow’s 2:17.04 was tops in the 200 medley. That was followed by Chung winning the 50 free in 26.38.

Gabrielle Syrop rang up a winning score of 163.40 in diving. Shannon Early chipped in with a first place 1:06.62 in the 100 butterfly and Grindall breezed to a first place time of 54.34 in the 100 free.

Tonight, the 5-0 Lady Spartans host Glastonbury in what is expected to be a very hard-fought non-conference meet at the Orange Community Center pool, starting at 7:30 p.m.
