Norwich quartet moving on to states
VESTAL - Norwich's brilliantly talented quartet of lightning-quick ladies will take a school record with them as they move on to the Division II New York State Track and Field Championships next Friday at the University of Buffalo.
Tornado underclassmen Cleo Daoud, Sarah Bonnell, Elisha Eddy, and Katie Benenati broke the school record in the 400-meter relay timing a 50.8 in the semifinals. In the finals, the time was just a tad slower, but still good enough to best all comers in Division II. "I was so excited, I never saw my stop watch," said Norwich co-head coach Phil Curley.
All season long, the four sprinting mavens, Daoud a freshman, the other three just sophomores, teased at the record coming as close as one-tenth of a second. Getting pushed by larger schools such as Vestal, Binghamton, and Elmira Southside had Norwich at its best.
In the finals, Division II competitor Waverly actually held a stride lead near the end of the third leg, but misfortune struck the Wolverines allowing Norwich to bolt in front. "Their third girl was going for the handoff and tripped," Curley said. "The next girl had to actually stop to get the baton, and by that time, Katie (Benenati) was gone."
Benenati also placed sixth overall in Section IV in the 100-meter dash, and Bonnell was seventh.
