MARATHON – Norwich’s golf team repeated as Section IV Class B champions Monday afternoon at Maple Hill Golf Club.

Led by overall medalist, junior Corey Johnson, Norwich improved 23 shots on last year’s winning score with a five-person score of 406, 16 strokes better than runner-up Windsor and nine better than Class C champion Chenango Forks.

“We had a mix of veterans with some young kids who really blossomed the late in the fall season,” said Norwich coach Bob Branham. “You could just see their confidence grow at the end of last season, and in the last three weeks of practice, I saw big improvements.”
