CHENANGO FORKS – To conclude the final duel meet of the 2016 season for the Norwich varsity Track and Field team, they elected to win both boys and girls divisions, when they traveled to take on Chenango Forks on May 11.
This marks the third year in a row the girls side has claimed the title, while 2016 will be the first year since 2011 since the boys have donned the award. Norwich head coach Shaun Horan admittedly claimed that he could not remember a time when both girls and boys won in the same year.
On the girls side, they claimed the win over The Blue Devils at 79-61.
“There were a lot of good performances, they def upset us in a few spots, they shocked us a little,” said Horan.
The Norwich girls claimed 10 of the first place finishes with a variety of other top-three finishes scattered around to help secure the title win.
At the 100 meter dash it was standout Emily Shattuck who claimed the top spot for the Tornado running a 13.2, while Michaela Fazio of Norwich earned some points with her third place finish at the event with a 13.9.
Shattuck would suffer a loss in the 200 meter dash, running a 27.5 to take first followed by her two teammates, Michaela Fazio and Delilah Geislinger in third and fourth.
