VERGENNES — The Vergennes Champs swim team confidently defeated the Middlebury Marlins, 302-130, Thursday evening, July 29, at a dual meet in Vergennes. It was the last regular season race for the oldest swimmers on the two Addison County teams.

The Vergennes Swim Team finished their regular Champlain Valley Swim Season with a perfect 7-0 record, their best record in two decades and possibly longer.

Paul Foley and Flint Crary both won thrice for the Champs, and Emry Mosehauer and Noah Smits each earned the team double victories.

Oliver Poduschnick was a triple victor for Middlebury, but this could not save the Marlins.

The meet was a makeup for a contest that had been scheduled for July 20, but was called off because of bad weather. After a Marlins swimmer tested positive for COVID-19, the makeup was in doubt, but swim team officials determined that it was safe to hold the race.

Both Vergennes and Middlebury are scheduled to swim in the St. Albans Invitational hosted by the St. Albans Sharks on Saturday. The Champlain Valley Swim League months ago decided to call off the league championship meet, but some St. Albans swim team backers organized tomorrow’s invitational, which will serve as a de facto league championship. The teams scheduled to participate are Town of Essex Swim Team (TEST), Winooski Swim Team, Burlington Tennis Club, Burlington Country Club, The Edge, Vergennes Swim Team, Middlebury Marlins Swim Team and the St. Albans Sharks.
