Girls foursome shatters record by nearly 3 seconds

NEW YORK – Approximately 130 schools attended the Stanner games at the New Balance Track and Field Center at the Armory in New York City over the weekend, and the Norwich Purple Tornado Indoor track and field team was one of those teams.

Both the Norwich boys and girls 4x200 meter relay teams broke school records at the contest.

The Tornado 4x200 boys team, who already broke the record earlier this season, set the new record for the third time as a group. Eric Conant, David Berger, Nik Barber and Gabe Gawronski finished with a time of 1:34.07, beating their previously set record by .6 of a second.

Nearly breaking the record for the girls side of the event earlier this season, Norwich’s foursome of Katie Gawronski, Lucie Martin, Angela Carlson and Riley Marsh raced to a time of 1:53.04 to shatter the record that was set in 2015 by nearly three seconds.
