WELLINGTON, Florida – Fresh off a 10-7-0-2 season and first-ever trip to the South-West Conference semifinals, four members of the Newtown High School field hockey team (and their coaches) traveled to the National Field Hockey Festival in Palm Beach County, Florida, last weekend.

The girls – Meg Regnery, Lindsey Coyle, Amanda Shevlin and Erin Clark – represented Newtown with the Connecticut Wave, a squad made up of players from Newtown, Bethel, New Milford and Shepaug and led by NHS coaches Kathy and Russ Davey.

More than 200 teams and 3,500 athletes from around the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean compete each year at the tournament, which originated as the National Sectional Championships back in 1922.

Playing in the U19F bracket, the Wave went 0-5-1 against some tough competition – Rochester Blizzard Blue (5-1-0), Malvern Wave (4-1-1), Dixie Styx (3-2-1), SD Short Corner Too (3-2-1), Capitol Pegasus Terps (3-3-0), and the Heart of Ohio (1-5-0).

But The Wave did manage a 2-2 tie with SD Short Corner Too in pool play.
