East Lyme — East Lyme High School opened defense of its Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division girls' track and field championship with a convincing 88-53 victory over Ledyard Tuesday.

“It was a good meet with a lot of strategy involved on both sides, which is always fun,” said East Lyme coach Carl Reichard. “I was surprised by our 4x800 (relay) team and all our middle distance kids ran well. That was a little bit of a surprise to me, so I'm sure it was a surprise to (Ledyard coach) Dave (Tetlow), too.”

Sophomore Heather Stevenson won the 800 (2:30.3), 1600 (5:29.5) and joined Amy Mrowka, Erin O'Connell and Laura Wang to anchor the winning 4x800 relay (10:28.9).
