ST. ALBANS — The Middlebury Marlins swim team wrapped up their Champlain Valley Swim League regular season on Thursday with a 254-188 setback at St. Albans.
Although the Marlins won just once during the CVSL season, a number of their swimmers have excelled and should do well at the CVSL meet, at Essex on July 27 and 28, and the summer championship meet, at Hartford’s Upper Valley Aquatic Center on Aug. 4 and 5.
As a smaller CVSL team the Marlins could also be competitive in a statewide division vs. comparable teams at the Vermont meet.
On this past Thursday Marlin 12-and-under swimmer Connor McNamara won four times to pace the team, while Sadie Chance and Holly Staats each posted three victories, and Oliver Poduschnick won twice.
Marlins scoring points for their team with top-three finishes were:
