Norris Comes Up Big, But Kent Was Too Deep
Co-captain Matt Norris '19 brought his game to a new level Jan. 12, dropping seven seconds off his already fast 500 freestyle time in an early-season meet as he cruised to victory. He also won the 100 fly with his second-fastest time ever. His swims energized his teammates but could not seal the win for the Martlets, who lost their first meet of the season to Kent, 98-80. The afternoon began with a thrilling race in the 200 medley relay, led by Max Larock '22, Eddie Shin '21, Norris and Jason Shi '21, who touched out Kent with a fine collection of relay splits. Larock then won the 200 freestyle, with co-captain Emmett de Kanter '19 passing a Kent swimmer in the final lap to take third. Hudson Stedman '21 pulled ahead of two Kent swimmers in the final 50 of the 200 IM to take second with a fast time, and Shi — whose twin brother swims on the Kent team — won the 50 freestyle. The Martlets led by four points at the diving break, but Kent's divers pulled ahead with a 1-2 finish and the Lions held the lead for good. Norris won the fly, Shi took third in the 100 freestyle and Norris won the 500 with Kieran Haug '21 in third, and the 200 freestyle relay team of Grant McCargo '21, Shin, Liam Seeley '20 and de Kanter placed third. Larock won the 100 back, with Stedman in third and Shin swam a lifetime best to take third in the 100 breast. The meet's final race ended in a win for the Martlets as Stedman, Norris, Shi and Larock teamed up to win the 400 freestyle relay with speedy splits. It was an exciting afternoon that featured many fast swims and close races, but in the end Kent's depth proved too much for the Martlets, who fell to 1-1 in the dual meet season. Looking ahead, the boys host Wilbraham & Monson and Eaglebrook Jan. 19 at Hibbard Pool.
