The Norwich boys would ultimately come away with a second place finish as a team, out of 24 teams. The boys earned a total of 61-points, edging Dryden who sat at 59 on the day to secure the second place finish, while only being outscored on the day by invitational winners, Maine-Endwell who scored an impressive 85-points.
