LYME/OLD LYME — On Wednesday, March 20, the Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) Mock Trial Team competed and won the state championship at the Connecticut State Supreme Court. This is the second year in succession that the LOLHS team has won the state contest.
Lyme-Old Lyme Schools Superintendent Ian Neviaser commented, “This is an amazing accomplishment by these young men and women. They have worked incredibly hard. We are so excited for them.”
Winning the state championship has earned the LOLHS team the honor of representing Connecticut at the National Mock Trial Competition in Wilmington, Del. in early May.
The team’s coach, Laura Nelson, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to send the team and its coaches to Wilmington to compete.
Nelson states on the GoFundMe page, ” Please consider donating to our trip fund to help them realize their goal and represent Lyme-Old Lyme and the State of Connecticut at the highest level..”
