Spencer and Gambardella Presented with All-State Honors
North Haven swimmers Lauren Spencer and Angela Gambardella were both presented with All-State honors in a ceremony at the AquaTurf Club in Southington on Nov. 29.
Spencer and Gambardella earned All-State by virtue of their performances at the Class M State Championship on Nov. 15 at Wesleyan University. Gambardella, a freshman, made All-State behind second-place finishes in a pair of events. She took second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:10.70 and was also second in the 100 breaststroke at 1:07.25. As a result, Gambardella was also named the Most Valuable Player of the Class M Championship. Earlier in the postseason, she had made All-SCC in both the 200 IM and the breaststroke.
Spencer, a senior, garnered All-State accolades in the 100 backstroke with her third-place performance and a time of 1:01.81 at the Class M meet. Spencer had previously gone All-SCC in the 500 freestyle.
