Norwalk/McMahon Swimmers Continue Perfect Start Norwalk/McMahon Swimmers Continue Perfect Start Norwalk/McMahon Swimmers Continue Perfect Start
Norwalk/McMahon Swimmers Continue Perfect Start NORWALK, Conn. – In a meet that came down to the final race, the Norwalk/Brien McMahon girls swim team improved to 5-0 with a nail-biting 97-86 win over the Westhill/Stamford co-op swim team Thursday at Norwalk High School. The Norwalk team needed to finish first and third in the 400 freestyle relay, the final race, to secure the victory, and it did just that. Norwalk/McMahon overcame a deficit midway through the meet largely with its relay teams, as its depth and a boisterous home crowd helped the team continue its perfect start.
