Girls CIAC Divisional Championships Preview


Class S Preview

Although Somers has a considerably higher rating than Bolton, the contest here could be fairly close as the margin in the NCCC meet was just 10 points and a good chunk of the gap for Somers' better mark comes from Rachel St. Germain, the top runner in the state. Derby, Portland, and Immaculate will also be in the hunt, and we could also get a surprise from the mystery teams from the Berkshire conference, whose 2019 champ Thomaston went on to take the Class S title.
