Darien Scores and Standings, Sept. 15

Patch's daily digest of Darien sports.

UPDATES

Boys cross country: The Darien boys cross country team earned its first victory of the season Tuesday, decisively winning its opening meet at Trumbull. The Blue Wave defeated the Eagles (16-45) and Bassick (16-50) to improve to 2-0. (In Cross Country, the lowest team score wins.)

Winning the varsity race in 16:09 was a ‘pack’ of four Darien runners: co-captains Charlie Baird, Michael Coe, Michael Johnston, and Alex Ostberg. Marshall Huffman finished sixth overall and fifth for the Blue Wave in 16:29.
