PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- The Pittsfield boys swim team’s 4-by-100 relay earned a win in the day’s final event Tuesday to secure a 50-44 win over Monument Mountain at the Boys & Girls Club.

 

Connor Hayford, Matt Miller, Conor Mooney and Liam Mooney swam a time of 3 minutes, 51.88 seconds to protect a narrow 43-41 lead for the Generals heading into the finale.

 

Pittsfield took that lead thanks to strong performances by Conor Mooney, Hayford and Miller in the events that immediately preceded the 4-by-100.

Asa Stone won the 200 freestyle (2:06.87) and 100 backstroke (1:03.56), and Olivia Rubino won the 50 free (27.06) and 100 free (58.85) for Monument Mountain.
