Congratulations to the Wellesley High School girls swim and dive team on winning their sixth straight state title over the weekend at the Boston University pool.
The Raiders won the MIAA Division 2 championship with 292 points, 10 ahead of Chelmsford High. That was a much narrower margin of victory than a year ago, though Wellesley again won thanks to a having a very deep team.

The one-two punch of Sarah Ginsberg and Hailey Ligibel earned first and second place in the 1-meter diving event, with Ginsberg’s performance the only-first place finish of the day for Wellesley.
Plenty of other team members performed well, including Sonja Tellander (3rd in 200-yard freestyle, 2nd in 500-yard freestyle) and Elaine Cheng (2nd in 50-yard freestyle, 4th in 100-yard freestyle). Those two also swam to a second place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay with teammates Kate Snow and Kathryn Bonnette.
