Greene 98, Norwich 85

GREENE – On the schedule it was just a non-league meet; a break from its Greene’s league schedule in the Midstate Athletic Conference. In reality, it proved on of the most significant wins in program history for the Trojans.

Winning the last three events, all with school-record times, Greene defeated Norwich for the first time in the program’s history. “Norwich is one of the premier programs in Section IV, and they produce a section champion almost every year,” said Greene coach Mike Platta, who earned his 100th career coaching win directing Greene’s boys and girls. “This was a feather in our cap, and everyone (on our team) walked out with a smile.”

The two Chenango County teams, vying for the unofficial top status in the area, traded victories and the lead up to the 100-yard freestyle. Norwich junior Savanna Keator won that event giving the Tornado a one-point advantage with five events left. Helen Zaengle took the next event, the 500 freestyle for Greene, setting the stage for a dramatic, impressive, and record-breaking finish.
