Aaron Breene bounced back from a disappointing showing at the FCIAC championships to become a double state champion at Saturday’s Class L state indoor track and field championships, held at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven.

Breene, a Wilton High senior, took first in both the 1000-meter and 1600-meter races, accounting for 20 of Wilton’s 22 points at the meet, as the Warriors finished ninth.

The Wilton girls team also had a state champ, as junior Morgan McCormick won the 3200 meters. The Warriors finished fifth in the team standings with 29 points.

Breene won the 1000 in a time of 2:35.72, edging out Manchester’s Joe Pearl by about a half a second. In the 1600 meters, his time was 4:34.47, about a second ahead of runner-up Patrick Cassidy of Hall.

The other two points for the Wilton boys came from a fifth-place finish in the 300 meters by Chris Colbert, in a time of 36.85.

McCormick lowered her season-best time in the 3200 by nearly four seconds with an 11:00.49, winning by more than six seconds over runner-up Bridgid Selfors of Mercy.

The other Wilton girl to place individually was Andreen Reid, who was sixth in the long jump with a leap of 14’11.5”.

The Warriors other 18 points came from the relays, including second-place finishes in both the 4x200 and 4x800.

In the 4x200, the team of Reid, Tatum Kelly, Anna Sherman and Julia Vitarelli lowered its season-best time by about two and half seconds to finish second in 1:52.09.

The 4x800 relay team (Nina Mellin, McCormick, Lily Kealy and Elizabeth Healy) lowered its season-best time by more than 46 seconds, taking second place in 10:02.01.

The Wilton girls also placed fifth in the 4x400 relay with the team of Ashley Viterelli, Kealy, Julia Vitarelli and Healy, lowing its season-best time by about a second with a 4:18.95.
