Newtown High School's boys' swimming and diving team dropped a 99-84 decision on the road to Weston on February 2.

Despite the setback, the Nighthawks had some strong performances, including first-place finishes.

"I thought the team swam well against the defending Class S state champs of Weston. The team is progressing in the right direction at this point in the season, which is great to see because of the tough upcoming meets in the next couple weeks," said Newtown Coach Zach Gauvin, whose squad will host defending Class M state champ Brookfield on Tuesday, February 9, beginning at 7 pm.
