UNATEGO – With uncommonly hot temperatures the Norwich Purple Tornado, Afton-Harpursville Crimson Knights, and the Unadilla Valley Storm all converged at Unatego for a Midstate-Athletic Conference dual meet. With the NHS crew competing as the only outlier of the MAC conference opposition as the Purple Tornado are members of the Southern Tier Athletic Conference.
With the thermometer rising up into the 90-degree range, the respective harriers took off into the 4000m course. The first male Chenango County athlete to cross the finish line was XC veteran Matt Johnson of the Crimson Knights- finishing in third place among the afternoon’s contingent. Johnson’s teammate Zach Swislosky finished in 15th-place with a time of 18:53.
