Newtown High School’s girls’ swimming and diving team defeated visiting Immaculate/Bethel 101-78 on October 1. Brianna Deierlein was at it again, setting pool and team records with her 50-yard freestyle event win in 24.48 seconds; Deierlein has set records in each of Newtown’s meets this fall.

“We are so proud of our team stepping up tonight and winning some big races,” Newtown Coach Becky Osborne said. “Bethel/Immaculate gave us some really awesome races, and we wish them luck in the rest of the season. Brianna did a great job pushing herself to continue to better even her own records. She is working so hard and it is really showing in her racing.”

The 200 medley relay team of Deierlein, Cate Fischer, Grace Fischer, and Diellza Limani was first in 1:57.28.

Ella Hall won the diving competition.

Limani was first in the 100 free with a time of 58.56. Deierlein won the 500 in 5:15.70.

The 200 free relay of Shayna Millard, Alexa Kwarcinski, Cate Fischer, and Limani was first in 1:47.52.

Newtown fell 101-85 to host Pomperaug of Southbury on October 5.

“Things didn’t go as we had planned, but Pomperaug swam a great meet and we got a lot of really good swims as a result. We are really excited to get back in the pool and use this setback as motivation to end the season strong,” Osborne said. “We want to give a special shout-out to our divers who have been doing such a great job all season, but especially tonight going one, two, four. We love them so much and are so happy they are on our team.”
