Norwich swimmers clinch division title
Boys’ Swimming
Norwich 97, Chenango Valley 68
FENTON – For the first time in 14 years, Norwich will hang a swimming banner in its gymnasium.
The Tornado boys completed a perfect run through the STAC East division beating Chenango Valley Friday night to clinch the school’s first division title – boys or girls – since 2000.
It was a fitting turnaround for NHS, who lost to CV at home a season ago in winner-takes-the-division matchup. “Chenango Valley is down a little bit this year with numbers, and we’re on the strong side,” said Norwich coach Kevin Diefenbacher. “It’s a shallow pool (at Chenango Valley) and we didn’t have personal-best times, but we had more than enough good swims to win the title.”
Norwich (6-1) started slow losing two of the first three events before closing with victories in six of the last nine. John Manwarren, Killian Benedict, Ricky Finnegan, and Curtis Woodard all had individual victories. Benedict won two individual events, and Manwarren, Woodard, and Benedict were part of two winning relays.
“We’re right on pace to peak for sectionals,” Diefenbacher said, whose club will host its final three meets of the season beginning with a Friday date against Johnson City.
