Long summer days at Tobey Pond and Doolittle Lake have paid off for six young Norfolk swimmers, as they helped propel their high school swim team to its third straight Berkshire League championship and a third-place finish at the Class S state finals. Prospects for next year are also bright, as none of these students graduated this year:

Sarah Allyn (junior) – swims freestyle sprints, 100 backstroke, and dives.
Reg Denny (junior) – swims 500 and 200 freestyle as well as relays.
Elias Olsen (junior) – swims 500 freestyle, 200 freestyle as well as relays.
Grant Scherling (junior) – swims 500 freestyle and 200 freestyle.
Jake Green (sophomore) – swims 100 butterfly, 200 medley relay (butterfly leg) and 200 Individual Medley.
Alex Machowski (freshman) – swims 400 freestyle relay, 100 freestyle, and 100 breaststroke.

And, congratulations to Norfolk Coach Doug Sebach and senior Will Scharnberg for leading the NWR7 Varsity Boys Basketball team to the state quarterfinals, after winning the Berkshire League title outright this season.
