VERGENNES — The Vergennes Champs swim team held off a relay rally by the visiting St. Albans Sharks on Tuesday to prevail, 233-218.

The Champs led the meet throughout and won five of seven of the medley relays that opened the competition. But the Sharks came on strong in the closing freestyle relays, taking of six of nine. But their comeback fell short because of the lead the Champs built with 23.5 wins in individual races. The half-win came from Zoey Kress, who tied a Shark swimmer in one race, but also won three outright.

Four of the Champs’ victories came from age 8 and under swimmer Ezra Norwood, three and a half from Kress, and three apiece from Riker Cooley, Jordan Hutchins, Connor Husk and Will Clark.

Brantley Cooke, Khanlen Ouimette, Ellie Eckels and Annika Smits claimed one race win apiece.
