With the track still humming from the Boston Indoor Games meet Saturday night, on Sunday morning the high school kids were back in charge, as the Reggie Lewis Center hosted the McIntrye Elite H.S. Relays.
The McIntrye Relays is named for Robert B. McIntyre, a teacher, football coach, and track coach, who spent 37 years working to get the Reggie Lewis Center built for high school track athletes.
The Newton North sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers had an outstanding day. The boys 4 x 50 relay of Cailean Robinson, Anthony Ambrosi, Khalel Pritchard, and Gordon Forbes won their preliminary heat in 22.09, and then came back in the final to smash the meet record with a time of 21.85, just edging out Natick H.S. by 0.03. The boys 5 x 50 hurdles also did well, qualifying for the final in the 8th spot and then running an outstanding time of 27.01 to place a surprising 4th.
In the long jump relay, Newton North boys struck again, leaping a combined total of 18.37m (60' 3.25") to win the event going away and improve almost two feet over last week's effort. The boys shot put relay finished 4th, and the boys 4x800 (with Doug Brecher anchoring!) finished 7th, less than 0.01 ahead of Masconomet.
The Newton North girls also had a relay champion as their 5 x 50 hurdles team (Leah Weisman, junior Morgan Faer, sophomore Vicki Marone and junior Alex Blenis) twice ran under 30 seconds. First they ran a school record 29.72 in the prelims, then followed that with 29.90 in the finals.
The girls shot put team placed 14th with a combined distance of 26.15 (85' 9.5").

I verify the slackers' post, Dough was third leg, Jampol was fourth leg, and Peter Sun lead off, while Seb was second leg with 2:04, or so I've heard...
