CICERO-NORTH SYRACUSE – Norwich varsity track and field capped off their already impressive 2016 campaign, when they had three athletes bring home four medals and a new school record at the New York State outdoor track and field championships.

“To bring three kids and come home with four medals is incredible,” said Norwich head coach Shaun Horan.

Norwich saw three of their athletes qualify for the NYS meet, held on Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, in four different events, and not just qualify but each would be chasing various school records along with goals of placing or winning their respective events.

• Emily Shattuck, a sophomore, would enjoy her second trip to the state level – missing finals at states in long jump in eighth grade, and missing the state meet in ninth, due to getting beaten out her teammate, Morgan Hagenbuch, Shattuck's freshman year – Shattuck would qualified for the long jump in division II, this time around and took full advantage of her opportunity. Shattuck would come into the meet chasing the ever evasive Norwich school record of 17'7”, set by Dana Stiles back in 1990's.

Shattuck came into the tournament ranked eighth in division II, something she soon proved to be a mere ranking as she emerged with a silver in the event, taking home a second place finish.
