Both Newton North teams won easily over Braintree at yesterday's Bay State Meet #4. The boys won 58-28, while the girls overwhelmed the Wamps 66-20.
There were some very impressive performances. among them:
Arie Sanchez jumped 14-7.25 to win the event. With Vicki Marone and Laryssa Manigat both over 14', North's long jump relay looks good for Sunday. On the boy's side, Gordon Forbes (20-2.75) won the long jump, going over 20' for the first time this winter. North's Ivan Kostadinov was second at 19-1.75, and Sam Arsenault showed he's not just a vertical leaper, as he jumped 18-8.25.
Carolyn Ranti started fast in the 1000, and never slowed down, winning by nearly half a lap and recording the state's fifth fastest time this year at 3:08.28. The North boys put four runners under 3:00, led by Peter Sun (PR 2:47.83).
Tracy Isman threw the shot 31-3.75, as North's shot put team continues to look strong for the State Relays.
Kat Chiong and Emma Kornetsky went 1-2 in the 600, running 1:43.47 and 1:43.90, respectively. In the 2-mile, Adina Hemley-Bronstein (12:19.98) PR'd by nearly half a minute, and Franca Godenzi (12:25.36) set her second PR in four days, this one by 11 seconds, as the two finished 3rd and 4th overall.
Seb Putzys won a tactical race against Kyle Higgins in the mile, running 4:40.86. Alex Gurvitz dropped down from the 2-mile and ran a nice debut at 5:01. There's no doubt he can run 6-8 seconds faster, as he was barely tired after finishing with a 71 last 400.
Avery Mitchell led all runners in the 300, running 36.74.

You said "if its not a typo" about Sanchez's long jmup mark... could it have been?
Almost certainly.
According to North Asst. Coach Adam Carpenter, Sanchez jumped 14-7, not 17-7. Too good to be true, I guess.
