Riding a four-meet win streak, the Norwood High swim team knew to make it five it had to accomplish something no one on the team had done in their high school careers – beat rival Walpole.

Which is exactly what the Mustangs did Tuesday afternoon at Blue Hills Regional, taking down the Rebels, 103-81, to improve to 9-4 on the season.

"On paper it was just about dead even," said Norwood coach Kim Goodwin. "We tried all kinds of strategies to get every point we could. It was fun."

Norwood won 10 of the 12 events, including wins in the first four to build a lead it never relinquished. After the 200-yard medley relay team began the meet with a victory, Nick Gaetani and Jimmy Conley went 1-2 in the 200 freestyle.

Patricia Lee followed by taking the 200 individual medley, one of two wins on the day for the senior to boost her mark to 26-0 on the season. She also broke her existing school record in the 100 backstroke.

Eddie Hernon made it four straight with a victory in the 50 free. Hernon and Gaetani each had two wins as Hernon added the 100 breaststroke, lower his team mark for the second straight meet, and Gaetani the 100 free. Conley also had a win in the 500 free.

Norwood got an unexpected bonus from its divers as Kristen Folan, Mackenzie Begley and Brianna Whelan went 2-3-4 to pick up ground in an event they anticipated sacrificing points in.

Manny Escobar qualified for sectionals in the 50 free.

"They really shouldn’t be able to swim these times at this point in the season, but I can’t hold them back," said Goodwin. "And they literally jump out of event onto the deck and start supporting each other. It’s a nice core of kids with great leadership."

Gaetani broke a team record in the 200 IM in his first swim in the event during Friday’s 100-86 non-league win over Westwood. Folan topped her record diving score by 10 points while placing first.
