Groton - Eastern Connecticut Conference regular-season champion Fitch/Stonington will have the top seed in six out of nine individual events at the league's swimming and diving championship.

The diving portion of the event is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today at East Lyme High School, while the swimming events will take place beginning at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at UConn Avery Point.

East Lyme's Mitchell Ryan will defend his diving championship, having captured the title last season with a school record 425.55 points.

East Lyme is the reigning champion at the ECC meet, winning its 11th title in the last 12 years in 2014. Fitch/Stonington went 10-0 in the league this season, however, snapping East Lyme's 27-meet winning streak within in the conference, and looks to add the championship meet to its list of accomplishments.

Fitch/Stonington's Sam Kokomoor (200-yard freestyle, 100 butterfly) and Dakota Williams (200 individual medley, 100 freestyle) are the top seeds in two events, while teammate Aaron Lewis is the favorite in the 500 freestyle and John Moody in the 100 backstroke.
