Vergennes Champs win twice, remain unbeaten

VERGENNES — The Vergennes Champs picked off two more victories in recent Champlain Valley Swim League meets and improved to 4-0 with three regular-season meets to come.
The Champs are scheduled to visit Essex on this Thursday; host Middlebury on this coming Tuesday, July 20; and travel to Burlington Country Club on Thursday, July 22.
Any weather postponements will be made up on the following week. St. Albans will host a league invitational meet on the weekend of July 30 to Aug. 1.
On Thursday, July 8, the Champs prevailed at home, 266-220, over the Burlington Tennis Club. The Champs won 11 of 20 relays in a tightly contested meet, running up a big advantage in the younger races, and then watching BTC cut into their lead with a deeper roster of older swimmers.
